Determine the Safety and Tolerability of Sequential SBRT and Sorafenib in Patients With Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Number of subjects experiencing a Grade 5 toxicity related to SBRT and sorafenib
Time frame: between baseline and 3 years
The Degree of Change in Necrosis and Vascular Permeability Via Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) and Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as Measured by Tumor Volume
mean tumor volume at baseline, 4 weeks and 10 weeks after start of treatment
Time frame: baseline, 4 weeks and 10 weeks
The Degree of Change in Necrosis and Vascular Permeability Via Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) and Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as Measured by Ktrans (Volume Transfer Coefficient).
The initial mean Ktrans at baseline, 4 weeks and 10 week. K trans is used to describe the uptake of gadolinium contrast in tissue.
Time frame: baseline, 4 weeks and 10 weeks
The Degree of Change in Necrosis and Vascular Permeability Via Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) and Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as Measured by Kep. Kep Describes How Fast Contrast Can Redistribute in Tissue.
The Kep as measures by MRI at baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, and 10 weeks after baseline.
Time frame: baseline, 4 weeks after baseline and 10 weeks post baseline
The Degree of Change in Necrosis and Vascular Permeability Via Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) and Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as Measured by ADC (Apparent Diffusion Coefficient).
the measured ADC at baseline, 4 weeks after baseline and then 10 weeks after baseline. ADC quantifies the motion of water protons from an MRI.
