Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of radiation therapy in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, or cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the liver who also have impaired liver function (liver damage caused by cirrhosis, chemotherapy, or surgery). Radiation therapy (RT) uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. New methods of giving RT to the liver may help control cancer.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer in the world. For patients with intermediate HCC (BCLC stage B), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been recommended as the standard therapy in many clinical practice guidelines. The combination of TACE and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has also been reported as an effective treatment. However, more and more retrospective studies have reported better therapeutic efficacy of hepatic resection than TACE for intermediate HCC. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of hepatic resection versus TACE+RFA for the treatment of intermediate HCC through prospective randomized clinical trial.
Background: There are about 100 trillion microbial cells in a person s gut. This is called the human gut microbiota. When this is disrupted, it can lead to many diseases. Studies show that the gut microbiota in people with cancer is different than that found in healthy people. Researchers want to study links between the gut microbiota and the immune system in people with a liver disease called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Objective: To study links between gut microbiota and the immune system in people with HCC. Eligibility: People at least 18 years old with HCC. They must be scheduled to have tumors removed by surgery. Design: - People having surgery for primary liver tumors at the Mount Sinai Medical Center will be screened for this study. - At the initial visit, blood, rectal swabs, urine, and stool will be collected. Participants will answer questions about their medical condition. - Before surgery, blood, rectal swabs, urine, and stool will be collected. This will be done at a routine visit. - When they have surgery, a piece of liver tissue with the tumor will be collected. This will be sent to the National Cancer Institute for tests. - After surgery, blood, rectal swabs, urine, and stool will be collected 3 times. This will be done at routine visits.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malignant neoplasms that have come back (relapsed), do not respond to treatment (refractory), or have distributed over a large area in the body (disseminated). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) on the prognosis of patients with microvascular invasion presence(MVI) and overexpression of Aspartate-β-hydroxylase(ASPH).
The aim of this project is to investigate whether the proliferative speeds of cultured cells using our method can be integrated into Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging classification for the possibility of personalized treatment and prediction the outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous T cells bearing chimeric antigen receptor that can specifically recognize (Mucin 1) MUC1 is safe and effective for patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumor.
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of S-Adenosyl Methionine on recurrence after curative resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide with an incidence of 500 000 cases per year. HCC most commonly appears in a context of liver chronic disease (patient with chronic viral hepatitis (hepatitis B or hepatitis C) or with cirrhosis). Surgical resection and liver transplantation concern patients with early stage and are the only curative treatments. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, Radiation Therapy and antiangiogenics treatments concern patients with inoperable lesions (palliative treatments). Antiangiogenic treatments enable to inhibit the angiogenesis process and thus interrupt the blood supply to the tumor. In clinical practice, the efficacy of anti-angiogenic agents is usually assessed by methods based on morphological medical imaging. The measures of each target lesion are obtained by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor (RECIST) criteria and WHO. However, these morphological measures are not fully evaluated. An alternative to these is the functional medical imaging which assess changes before that a diminution of tumor size is detectable. Since these treatments induce generally necrosis without modification of initial tumor size, the new technologies of functional medical imaging are particularly adapted to an early evaluation of the response to treatments which may improve patient management. In this context, liver Perfusion MRI needs to be assessed in its capacities to early predict the response of antiangiogenic treatments. Positive results will enable to adapt therapy in order to improve overall survival of patients and avoid expensive treatments which may turn out to be inefficient and generating important side-effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine that systemic chemotherapy is superior to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in prolonging progression-free survival（PFS） in patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
