Brief Summary: RATIONALE Octreotide may stop or slow the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for liver cancer

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well octreotide works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic liver cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

To verify that long-acting somatostatin analog octreotide Sandostatin LAR depot will extend median survival from 5 months to 875 months in patients with locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma with a CLIP score of 3 or more

Secondary

To document tolerability of this drug in this patient population

OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to underlying degree of liver disease as defined by CLIP score classification

Patients receive short-acting octreotide subcutaneously three times daily on days 1-21 OR days 1-28 If the patient tolerates short-acting octreotide the first dose of long-acting octreotide Sandostatin LAR depot will be given intramuscularly beginning on day 8 OR day 15 Treatment with long-acting octreotide repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

After the completion of study treatment patients are followed monthly for 6 months
