The RESCUE trial is a prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ablative radioembolization using Yttrium-90. This treatment is being investigated as a potential curative approach, as well as a bridging or downstaging strategy for surgery, in patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma (greater than 8 cm) who maintain good liver function.
