Liver cancer which cannot be resected needs palliative treatment.
Since tumor has increased in size on chemotherapy, radiation therapy is a palliative treatment option.
You can also discuss other treatment options including TACE, RFA and ethanol ablation therapy with your treating doctors to have an idea of what to expect in coming time.
I hope it helps.
