Liver Tumors and Cancer

Physicians and scientists from Fred Hutch and UW Medicine are testing new treatments for liver cancer and discovering new ways to use current liver cancer treatments.

Through this work, we are looking for answers to two main questions: How can we do even better at controlling or curing liver cancer? How can we make treatments easier on patients?

We have clinical trials for all stages of liver cancer, from early to advanced. Some of the therapies we are studying are:

• Chemotherapy regimens
• Antibody therapies and other targeted therapies
• Immunotherapies, like cellular immunotherapies and checkpoint inhibitors
• Novel (new) therapeutic devices
• Radiation therapy, including proton therapy

When your care team designs your treatment plan, they will give you the choice to join clinical trials that match your situation. If you decide to join one, you will see the same doctors and nurses as you would for standard therapy.

Your care team will talk with you about if you might want to join a particular study and why. This can help you make the decision that is best for you.
