Filter by:Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with radical dose achieved similar results with radiofrequency ablation (RF) and radical surgery, according to previous studies. For tumors near great blood vessels or with a diameter more than 2cm, SBRT performs even better than RF. In current clinical practice of SBRT for small HCC, registration is achieved by planting metal markers near the tumor, which has several disadvantages: 1. the operation is invasive, increase the risk of bleeding in patients with cirrhosis; 2. the operation is of no therapeutic value; 3. metal markers can only be planted outside the tumor to avoid transplantation, which compromises the accuracy of registration via CBCT. This study aims to adopt a new method of registration, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and lipiodol marking, to analyze the recognition and clarity of lipiodol on CBCT images, set-up errors and treatment efficacy. Therefore to provide data to support TACE and lipiodol marking over metal marker planting.
The study is aimed to explore the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with endoscopic therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with esophagogastric varices (EGV) and seek out predictors associated with survival.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TheraSphereTM yttrium [90Y] glass microsphere in the Chinese patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to investigate both the efficacy and safety of sintilimab combined with bevacizumab and radiotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Background: A radiotracer (or tracer) is a radioactive substance. It is used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging to help see specific sites in the body. Researchers want to learn if a new tracer can help them better identify hepatocellular cancer (HCC) in people. Objective: To learn if a radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL can identify sites of HCC better than current standard imaging. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older who may have HCC based on previous standard imaging. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will have a computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Participants will have a whole-body PET/CT scan. The PET and CT scanners use x-rays to make pictures of the inside of the body. The PET uses a tracer to help make the pictures. Participants will get an intravenous (IV) injection of 18F-DCFPyL 1 hour before the scan. Within two weeks, participants will have a 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. 18F-FDG is a commonly used tracer. They will get 18F-FDG via IV 1 hour before the scan. Participants will have a CT/MRI within 2 months of the first 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT. Participants will have standard treatment for their cancer. During treatment, they will have a tumor biopsy. If the biopsy shows they do not have HCC, they will be removed from the study. For participants who have HCC and their cancer was identified in the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT, they will have a second 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Participants will have follow-up visits every 3 months for 2 years. Then they will have yearly visits for 3 years.
To evaluate the ability of Erector spina Plane Block decrease postoperative pain and analgesia requirements in patients undergoing percutaneous Radiofrequency ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinomas.
Lenvatinib Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Modified FOLFOX Regime vs Lenvatinib Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Oxaliplatin Plus Raltitrexed in Patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma
This is a phase 2 open-labeled study to compare the Ga68-Dolacga positron emission tomography with computer tomography volumetry and indocyanine green retention test for measurement of liver reserve among scheduled surgery operation patients.
In this prospective study, 68Ga-PSMA integrated PET/MR imaging was applied for the diagnosis and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The detection and diagnostic performance of 68Ga-PSMA PET/MR for HCC was evaluated in comparison with the gold standard of puncture biopsy or postoperative pathology. The aim is to make up for the deficiency in FDG PET imaging in the diagnosis and staging of HCC.
Background: A new cancer treatment takes a person s own T cells, modifies them in a laboratory so they can better fight cancer cells, and then gives them back to the person. Researchers want to see if this treatment can help people with a certain type of liver cancer. Objective: To see if a personalized immune treatment, anti-GPC3 CAR-T cells, is safe. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older who have Glypican-3 (GPC3) positive HCC, a type of liver cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Blood and urine tests Medical history Physical exam Heart function tests Review of their symptoms and their ability to perform their normal activities Tumor biopsy Imaging scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Participants will have leukapheresis. They may have an IV (intravenous catheter, a small tube put into an arm vein) inserted into each arm or get a central line. Blood will be removed. A machine will separate the white blood cells from their blood. The rest of their blood will be returned to them. Participants will be admitted to the hospital for about 2 weeks. They will get the chemotherapy drugs fludarabine and cyclophosphamide by IV for 3 days. Then they will receive the modified white blood cells by IV. Participants will have frequent blood draws. They will give blood and tumor samples for research. Participants will have follow-up visits for the next 15 years. Then they will be contacted by email or phone for the rest of their life. If their disease does not get worse after 5 years, they will continue to be invited to do imaging studies every 6 months.
