Filter by:Although it is commonly accepted that antiviral therapy should be commenced before or during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment if the patients have high viral loads and elevated ALT or total bilirubin values with signs of cirrhosis, the dilemma exists when HBV DNA and liver function (such as ALT, AST, TBIL) remains low level. Whether antiviral therapy make sense or not in these patients with no signs of hepatitis or high viral replication remains unclear, especially for the relatively advanced stage HCC patients receiving TACE. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective control study to compare the survivals for patients after TACE between with or without antiviral therapy.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common type of cancer in men and the seventh in women and is the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. The overall incidence of HCC remains high in developing countries and is steadily rising in most industrialized countries. TACE with Doxorubicin-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) has recently been developed as a novel therapy option for HCC. In order to maximize its therapeutic efficacy, doxorubicin-loaded beads were developed to deliver higher doses of the chemotherapeutic agent and to prolong its permanence within the tumor. The comparison of efficacy and safety of TACE with drug-eluting microspheres in comparison with conventional TACE (cTACE) showed that response and time to progression in the group was significantly higher than that of the cTACE group. TACE with drug-eluting microspheres thus appears to be a feasible and promising approach to the treatment of HCC. This study's purpose is evaluating treatment efficacy, survival rate and safety of TACE using drug-eluting microspheres loaded with doxorubicin for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
The aim of this study is to compare the operative complication and short-/long-term therapeutic effects of percutaneous local ablative therapy (PLAT) versus surgical resection(SR) on small hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients with clinically significant portal hypertension(CSPH) so as to lend clinical and theoretical basis of the therapeutic schemes for the disease.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of postoperative hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, interferon/fluorouracil versus low-dose cisplatin/fluorouracil, in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus.
In patients with HCC undergoing therapy 1. We aim to determine the prognostic significance of liver stiffness in patients with HCC 2. We aim to determine the rate and severity of complications of treatment and its association with liver stiffness in patients with HCC
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical value of laparoscopic liver resection in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma by assessing its Surgical and oncologic outcomes comparing with open liver resection.
Gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA, Primovist)-enhanced MRI can affect on BCLC staging during the initial staging workups of definite HCC patients with very early or early stage disease, but with no suspicious intrahepatic HCC lesions by liver dynamic CT.
This clinical trial is designed to provide one kind of modalities for preventing the recurrence and metastasis of PLC. If the expected therapeutic efficacy is achieved, it shall contribute actively to boosting the therapeutic level of PLC, prolonging its recurrent time and enhancing its overall survival. And it may also raise the clinical recognition of this technology, promote its clinical applications and generate excellent social reputations and economic returns.
Oncoxin in combination with Surafenib is safe and results in improved survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Primary Outcome Measures: - To compare the progression free survival(PFS) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) with or without Huachansu, and the correlation between PFS and expression of peripheral Na+/K+-ATPase α3 family. Secondary Outcome Measures: - To compare the overall survival(OS), objective response rate(ORR), and side effects of treating HCC with TACE plus Huachansu or TACE alone. Exploratory Outcome Measures: - To evaluate the correlation between prognosis and expression of peripheral Na+/K+-ATPase α3 family.
