Study Summary

This clinical trial will compare 1-year outcomes in patients with hypoalbuminemia and a new diagnosis of small, early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are candidates for both 90-Yittrium Therasphere transarterial radioembolization (90Y) and microwave ablation (MWA). The study will determine whether treatment with 90Y lowers the risk of disease progression within the first year after diagnosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either first cycle 90Y or MWA and then proceed with standard of care.
