The aim of this study is to prove usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) using Sonazoid (TM) in the early detection of HCC as compared with conventional B-mode ultrasound (B-mode US) for hepatitis virus related cirrhosis, who are defined as super high-risk patients for hepatocarcinogenesis,Furthermore, to analyze whether early detection of HCC by CE-US has a survival benefit than that by B-mode US.
Hepatectomy is still the most important treatment for HCC.High recurrence rate mostly influence it's prognosis, especially for the patient with tumor >5cm, multiple tumor and who cannot accept R0 resection.Our retrospective study showed sustained released 5-FU implanted into the liver incisal margin after tumor was resected could reduce the recurrence rate of HCC after liver resection.According to this, we proceed this RCT to prospectively observe the effect of sustained released 5-FU,and we also want to know whether combined with sustained released cisplatin will get better effect in preventing the tumor recurrence,especially in short time after liver resection.
Most hepatocellular carcinomas are associated with hepatitis B virus, it is hypothesized that anti-viral treatment may be helpful in treating HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
HCC is an aggressive, largely chemo-resistant cancer with a poor prognosis, currently there is no effective systemic chemotherapy for HCC. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are both overexpressed in HCC and thought to contribute to tumor development. Oxaliplatin in combination with other chemotherapies or biologic agents have been shown to be an effective and safe treatment in advanced HCC patients. Sorafenib, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor, blocks tumor cell proliferation by targeting multiple growth factor pathways and also exerts an anti-angiogenic effect. Clinically, single agent Sorafenib has been shown to have some efficacy in patients with advanced HCC and the primary result of prolonged overall survival seems to have been achieved in the phase III trial.
A RCT was conducted to elucidate whether the treatment outcome of HCC could be improved by RFA associated with postoperative TACE.
The purpose of the investigators' study is to prospectively evaluate whether low-dose thalidomide adjuvant therapy will improve the outcome of radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
This study aim to find out the risk of exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or hepatectomy for HCC, and it's effect to treatment outcome.
To evaluate Quality of Life (QoL) score of MS-20 versus placebo in advanced HCC patients using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ C-30 questionnaire.
F18-FDG is the widely used PET tracer in the routine practice of oncologic disease imaging using the technology of PET-CT. However, FDG-avidity is a characteristic of the individual tumor. There are various types of human malignancies, which are not taking FDG in access. In these cases FDG is not a sensitive tracer of imaging. In search for other tumor PET tracers, C11-Acetate has been shown recently in a few early studies to have a potential value in imaging of non-FDG-avid tumors. The purpose of the current study is to assess the role of 11C-acetate PET in various tumors, which often are not detected by 18F-FDG and were not widely assessed until now.
