Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Conversion to resectability. Timepoint: Tumor downsizing will be evaluated within three months of treatment initiation. Method of measurement: Downsizing of the liver tumors will be assessed by RECIST criteria. The feasibility of secondary tumor resection will be reassessed at a three-month follow-up multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, guided by established clinical guidelines.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Adverse event rate. Timepoint: upon treatment initiation till last follow up. Method of measurement: Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).
