The incidence of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing worldwide. However, most of HCC cases were at advanced stage when the diagnosis established.Early diagnosis improves the prognosis.The study is intended to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of alpha-fetoprotein-L3 (AFP-L3) and Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II). This study is performed at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Participants including patients with HCC and hepatic hemangioma. All the serum samples are collected before any treatments and will be tested in single center in order to decrease bias. Serum samples were tested for PIVKA-II, AFP, AFP-L3 and biochemical indexes including alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase, HbsAg, Anti HCV, etc.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer. This type of cancer may be "hypervascular". Hypervascular means there is an increased number or concentration of blood vessels. These blood vessels get their blood supply from the hepatic artery, while the non-tumor liver tissue gets blood supply from the portal vein. Therefore, blockage of the hepatic artery to cut off the blood supply to the tumor is possible without affecting the normal liver. This research protocol will study chemoembolization using radiopaque beads loaded with a chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin. Chemoembolization is a procedure in which the blood supply to a tumor is blocked after anticancer drugs are given in blood vessels near the tumor. In this study, the anticancer drug, doxorubicin, is attached to small beads that are injected into an artery that feeds the tumor. The radiopaque beads (RO beads) are visible on imagining scans (X-rays) so that the Interventional Radiologist performing the chemoembolization procedure can see the location of the beads in the tumor during and after the procedure. The visibility of the beads allows the interventional radiologist to confirm where the beads loaded with doxorubicin have been delivered in the tumor; this in theory could help to improve the efficiency of embolization and plan the next course of treatment. In addition to the embolization, the beads elute a sustained dose of doxorubicin locally to the tumor site as a second effect.
Biofeedback is an autonomic response observed during the exposure period to CEMBE. After prospectively evaluating 20 healthy individuals or 40 patients with advanced breast cancer or hepatocarcinoma, it was possible to determine subtle hemodynamic changes consistent with the biofeedback effect associated with exposure to a cancer-specific set of modulated frequencies. Once CEMBE is administered through an intra-oral administration device, the human body absorbs the energy applied at the level of 0.2-1 mW / kg, with a peak absorption in 10 g of tissue between 55 and 132 mW / kg. Initially, the discriminatory study analyzing 9 hemodynamic parameters recorded beat heart beat in 18 individuals demonstrated a hemodynamic pattern specific for hepatocarcinoma and breast cancer, with sensitivity of 94.1% and 95%, respectively, and specificity of 75% and 95%, respectively. These findings were validated in blind analysis in the remaining 56 patients, confirming the high rate of discriminatory success. A specific pattern of response associated with exposure of a cancer-specific frequency group was also observed in patients diagnosed with neoplasia, since the control group of healthy individuals did not present these response patterns. This specific signature of response to CEMBE-modulated exposure to cancer-specific frequencies was significantly altered only in patients with hepatocarcinoma after tumor withdrawal (Costa et al, 2015a).
This study is being performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 30% PTS100 of total tumor volume as intra-tumoral injection therapy in primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma patients who are ineligible for operation or local regional therapy.
This phase II trial studies the best dose and side effects of sorafenib tosylate and nivolumab in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic). Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sorafenib tosylate and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with liver cancer.
Use PT-112 alone for Phase I dose escalation stage: advanced solid tumors, Phase I dose confirmation stage: advanced solid tumors. Phase II hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PT-112 injection from 250mg/m2 dose level with 3+3 dose escalation design, find Maximum tolerated dose (MTD), Recommended Phase II Dose(RP2D) and evaluate the Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of PT-112 through Phase I dose escalation stage. Phase I dose confirmation stage: evaluate the safety and tolerability of PT-112 with RP2D, evaluate the anti-tumor effect of PT-112 at RP2D. Phase II stage: evaluate the anti-tumor effect of PT-112 at RP2D in advanced HCC
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab compared with sorafenib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) who have received no prior systemic treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of subsequent systemic treatment of physician's choice (TPC) following the first-line lenvatinib treatment in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) participants.
¹¹C-choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been used in patients with some types of solid cancers, but few data are available in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to analyze the prognostic value of metabolic imaging data by using ¹¹C-choline PET/CT in patients with HCC before hepatectomy.
