Study Summary

Patients on this study will self administer Prednisone for three days before starting Radiation Therapy (RT) and continue to take 60 mg/day during the first three fractions of RT.

Primary Outcome

Measuring whether sTNFR1 level is attenuated following prednisone treatment, given before and during radiation therapy for HCC patients who are at high risk of radiation induced liver toxicity. sTNFR1 levels will be summarized descriptively at each time point as absolute values and change from baseline (prior to taking prednisone). Longitudinal regression models will be used to test whether mean changes over time are statistically significant. Treatment with prednisone will be considered success
