Filter by:The purpose of this study is to explore the ability of integrated MRI/PET to detect and evaluate treatment outcome in HCC patients.
It is thought that PET of the abdomen with 11C Acetate will provide new information regarding whether or not patient's have benefited from radiotherapy. To test this theory, the project will evaluate the potential of 11C acetate to serve as an earlier and/or better signal of treatment success.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile, safety, and efficacy of LifePearl™ microspheres loaded with Doxorubicin in the treatment of unresectable HCC.
According to randomized controlled trial requirement, the therapeutic effectiveness of cooled-probe microwave ablation and radiofrequency ablation on early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma is compared to find a better approach for minimally invasive thermal ablation.
This study is a prospective non-randomized controlled study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and safety of sorafenib and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after radical surgery.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common and the third leading cause of death from cancer worldwide1 . Hepatectomy is still the main effective treatment for HCC accompanying with well-preserved cirrhosis when liver transplantation is not feasible due to the lack of donors Recurrence of tumor within the liver remnant is also common, with a reported 5-year recurrence rate of 50-70%, in patients who have undergone "curative" hepatectomy. Management of recurrent HCC is still urgent and several treatments have been developed. Repeat hepatectomy is considered to be the first choice for recurrent HCC with a 5-year survival rate of 19.4 to 56%. Unfortunately, repeat hepatectomy can be performed only in a small proportion of patients with HCC recurrence due to the poor functional liver reserve or because of widespread recurrence. With a 3-year survival rate of 62% to 68% after treatment, radiofreqency ablation (RFA) has been used as an effective treatment for recurrent HCC. The efficacy of RFA for recurrent HCC has been reported to be comparable to those achieved by surgery. Laparoscopic surgery was considered not to be a suitable treatment for recurrent HCC due to postoperative adhesions that can make laparoscopic surgical procedure more difficult and less safe. Recently, several studies reported that laparoscopic surgery for recurrent HCC in cirrhotic patients is a safe and feasible procedure with good short-term outcomes. By far, no study has been performed to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery with RFA for treatment of recurrent HCC.
This randomized prospective study aims to investigate whether prophylactic administration of antibiotics has an influence on inflammatory markers, liver function test results, or the incidence of post-procedural infection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
The purpose of this study is to determine that Gemcitabine(GEM) plus oxaliplatin(OXA) (GEMOX) is superior to Oxaliplatin Plus Fluorouracil/Leucovorin(FOLFOX4) in prolonging progression-free survival(PFS) in patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
This multicenter prospective nonrandomized study is to evaluate the efficacy of TACE combined with sorafenib compared with TACE monotherapy in term of overall survival in intermediate-stage HCC.
The purpose of this study is to determine that Liposomal Doxorubicin(LD) plus Gemcitabine(GEM) is superior to Oxaliplatin(OXA) Plus Fluorouracil/Leucovorin(FOLFOX4) in prolonging progression-free survival(PFS) in patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
