Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as arsenic trioxide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well arsenic trioxide works in treating patients with metastatic liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the efficacy of arsenic trioxide in patients with unresectable metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma
Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients

OUTLINE Patients receive a loading dose of arsenic trioxide IV over 1-2 hours once daily on days 1-5 in week 1 and then twice weekly in weeks 2-8 Courses repeat every 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

NOTE The 5-day loading dose is only administered during course 1

After completion of study treatment patients are followed at 30 days and then periodically for up to 2 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 15-25 patients will be accrued for this study
