Filter by:According to the total population of cancer patients, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), two of gastroenterological cancers are involved in the most acquired five cancers. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of tumor-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, and HCC is one of the top ten cancers in China. Currently, the intervention for gastrointestinal cancers mainly focuses on surgical removal, but patients still have a high risk of recurrence. Thus, the prevention of cancer recurrence is the most crucial topic for the intervention. The pathophysiology of gastroenterological cancers is multifactorial and not yet completely understood. However, immunosuppression is a major contributing factor in tumor cells play a central part in disease progression. It determines the prognosis of patients.
This research study wants to develop advanced imaging methods to more accurately characterize prostate cancer or solid tumor aggressiveness. This observational study involves [18F]DCFPyL positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI)
The detection and diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is a public health issue. MRI is the most sensitive examination for diagnosis and especially hypervascularization in the arterial phase. Several studies have shown that MRI multiphase arterial sequences are superior to single phase to capture the arterial phase. The purpose of this study is to compare arterial enhancement sensibilities between multi and single phase sequences.
A randomized trial showed that sorafenib plus hepatic artery infusion of 85mg/m² oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil is more effective than sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. However, a retrospective study showed that hepatic artery infusion of 130 mg/m² oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil is more effective than sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It is unknown which oxaliplatin dose is better.
There is a high prevalence of hepatic cirrhosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), or chemotherapy-induced hepatic atrophy or hepatosteatosis in patients with liver metastases associated with high risk of radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MRI-SPION radiotherapy planning will facilitate detection and maximize avoidance of residual functionally active hepatic parenchyma from over-the-threshold irradiation thus increasing safety of liver SBRT in patients with pre-existing liver conditions. The investigators have previously demonstrated that liver SBRT with SPECT/CT functional treatment planning utilizing 99mTc sulfur colloid in transplant eligible patients associated with minimal hepatotoxicity and without hastening of advanced hepatic cirrhosis progression while patients await liver transplant. Switching from nuclear medicine to an MR-Linac-SPION based quantitative treatment-planning platform will substantially improve diagnostic accuracy in defining safe volumes of residual functional hepatic parenchyma for liver SBRT planning on MR-Linac.
The purpose of this study is the development of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) platform, where validation studies will be conducted for liver disease subtyping and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) phenotyping on images for use as diagnostic and prognostic markers of outcome in conjunction with large scale data registries and advanced predictive machine learning methodologies. The proposed objectives will deliver one or more fit-for-purpose non-invasive imaging-based methodologies to evaluate the presence, activity and type of HCC in clinical practice.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), including programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor or programmed cell death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor , is recommended to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the safety of ICI in patients with a high HBV-DNA load is unknown because of the potential risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation. This study was to compare the HBV reactivation between patients with low HBV-DNA loads and high HBV-DNA loads undergoing antiviral prophylaxis and ICI.
This is a single-arm and open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability and primary efficacy of the HBV specific T cell receptor (HBV/TCR) redirected T cell in patients with recurrent Hepatitis B virus (HBV) related hepatocellular carcinoma post liver transplantation.
This is an open label, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of STP705 administered intratumorally in cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma or liver metastasis in subjects with advanced/metastatic or surgically unresectable solid tumors who are refractory to standard therapy. Goals: 1. To determine the MTD or RP2D of STP705 when administered intratumorally into cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, or liver metastasis. 2. To establish the dose of STP705 recommended for future phase 2 studies when administered intratumorally.
The purpose of this study is to refine and pilot test educational material developed to educate and support patients receiving immunotherapy for advanced cancer. The intervention is an educational video and question prompt list (QPL) to promote communication between patients, caregivers, and the oncology team about the risks and benefits of immunotherapy.
