Filter by:Highly active hepatitis B virus (HBV) is known to be associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aims to investigate the relationship between HBV status and HCC recurrence after liver transplantation. The study retrospectively analyzed HCC patients undergoing liver transplantation in 2 centers between January 2015 and December 2020. We reviewed post-transplant HBV status and its association with outcomes.
This study aimed to address the issue of peritoneal metastasis (PM) following the rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its adverse impact on patient prognosis. Clinical data from 522 patients with ruptured HCC who underwent surgery at seven different medical centers were collected and analyzed. Machine learning models were employed for analysis and prediction.
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind trial was to compare the effects of preemptive Oxycodone and sufentanil at the same dose on pain and inflammatory response after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the effect of single dose intravenous injection of Oxycodone and sufentanil before TACE on inflammatory reaction after TACE; And (ii) evaluate the effects of different opioid drugs on pain and nausea/vomiting after TACE.
This study aims to determine the predictive effect of ATG10 and IL6 genetic polymorphisms in safety and efficacy of sorafenib used for the treatment of Egyptian HCC patients. Moreover, this study will determine the association between genetic polymorphisms of ATG10 and IL6 with HCC severity.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of liver cancer and is one of the leading causes of global cancer death. Surgical resection of the afflicted areas of the liver is one of the treatment methods for this condition. In this retrospective research, the investigators explore the outcomes of liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing liver resection from 2010 to 2021 in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta. The main outcome is mortality and the secondary outcomes are factors predicting mortality after resection.
The goal of this multicenter retrospective cohort study is to investigate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors after hepatic resection in patients with HCC exhibiting PVTT, and to develop a prognostic index that can be helpful in determining the treatment strategy.
This is a multi-center study in China to investigate the role of PIVKA-II in HCC recipient selection and prognostic stratification by analyzing the data of 522 recipients with HCC registered in the China Liver Transplant Registry.
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to evaluate the dose of radiation of Technetium-99m macroaggregated-albumin (99mTc-MAA) after an intra-arterial injection to the whole body and non-liver critical organs in patients who are undergoing evaluation for SIR-Spheres treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.
HBV DNA integration has been found in the chromosomes of about 90% of HBV-related HCC and the integration site is unique to individual HCC. The virus-host chimera DNA (vh-DNA) from HBV integration sites in HCC a reliable evidence even in the patient with a tiny tumor which is not large enough to be detected by the image scan. The goal of this observational study is to compare the prediction ability of vh-DNA with the other biomarkers for monitoring the recurrent of HBV-related HCC. The main questions that aim to answer are the sensitivity and specificity of vh-DNA/AFP/ALP-L3/PIVKA-II/TERTC2280 when the gold standard is the guideline of HCC diagnosis. The surgical tissues and plasma samples from the participants would be collected undergoing the HCC recession surgery when joining the study at the beginning, in order to identify the HBV integration in tumor by Capture NGS and quantify the specific vh-DNA in plasma by ddPCR as personalized biomarkers for minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. Moreover, the consistency of vh-DNA from tumor will be validated by pre-operative plasma. Then the participants will be asked to performed the visit at 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 months after the HCC recession surgery. The plasma sample for vh-DNA/AFP/ AFP-L3/ PIVKA-II/ TERTp C228T testing and the image data from ultrasound, CT or MRI would also be collected at these visits. When the vh-DNA testing result is positive and there is no recurrence at 14 months after the HCC recession surgery, some participants will be asked to followed at 17, 20 months. Researcher will compare the sensitivity, specificity and predict day of vh-DNA with AFP/ AFP-L3/ PIVKA-II/ TERTp C228T as a biomarker for HCC surveillance. The true value of this novel HBV chimera vh-DNA will be revealed. The results will also support to use for monitoring post-operative recurrence. In addition, the investigators will explore the performance of TERTp C228T mutation from non-HBV HCC patients. As a different target of ctDNA for HCC, TERTp C228T will be identified using surgical tissues from HCC patients, and plasma samples from the same patient before/after operation will be tested by ddPCR . It will be evaluated that TERTp C228T is predictive or not for recurrence monitoring of HCC.
As the most common subtype of liver cancer (85% ~ 90%), HCC is highly malignant; thus, one of the crucial issues in HCC management is an effective therapy for tumors at an early stage, which is vital for improving the prognosis of patients. For ≤3cm HCC, ablation has been recommended by international guidelines as a first-line or alternative treatment because of similar survival outcomes and milder liver function injury with liver resection (LR). However, the appropriate treatment options for 3-5cm HCC remain controversial. Thus, none of the international guidelines recommend ablation as a first-line treatment for 3-5cm HCC. In the past few decades, treatment for HCC has tended to be less invasive, have fewer complications, and have higher cost-effectiveness. Compared with LR, laparoscopic Hepatectomy (LH) demonstrates the advancement of minimal invasion. As another minimally invasive technique for HCC, Microwave Ablation (MWA) has the potential to eradicate larger HCCs with larger coagulation areas and is less affected by the heat sink effect caused by vessels around the tumor. Many studies have identified the potential advantages of MWA over other ablation techniques. However, to date, no clinical studies have compared the efficacy of LH and MWA therapies for 3-5cm HCC with periodic progression.
