View clinical trials related to Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Filter by:Hepatectomy is still the treatment of choice for hepatocellular carcinoma. Part of the patients may present portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) after resection. PVTT might lead to upper gastrointestinal bleeding and worsening of hypersplenism which will endanger the life of the patients. PVTT also plays the centre role of recurrence and metastasis of HCC. There is no standard treatment for PVTT yet. We aim to compare the effects of TACE and TACE plus laser ablation for treating patients with PVTT.
Presently,the diagnostic method of small hepatocellular carcinoma has been greatly elevated in China.The treatment is being from simplification to diversification,from entirety to individualization.Confronting small hepatocellular carcinoma,we not select simple operation treatment but select a treatment that have more predominance and more fitting with patients in various kinds of treatment methods;including operation ,TACE,PEI,et al.which is better ? There are many arguments.
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) like LBH589 have recently been established as novel potent anti-cancer agents for solid and hematologic malignancies. Several pre-clinical reports have shown a good anti-tumoral activity of different HDACi on human or murine HCC models. These compounds, e.g. Trichostatin A, SAHA, MS-275 and others, have been shown to induce apoptosis in HCC cells and to inhibit growth of HCC by inhibiting proliferation and tumor-related angiogenesis in vivo. Furthermore, HDACi sensitize HCC in a synergistic manner to other forms of cytotoxic stimulation, e.g. by conventional chemotherapeutic drugs or TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. It has also been shown that the combination of HDACi with various kinase inhibitors like sorafenib, erlotinib or others, promotes the anti-tumor efficacy of single agents. Based on the investigators' own previous experiences with different HDACi and LBH589 in preclinical HCC models, a strong anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic as well as an anti-angiogenic effect will be expected by combining LBH589 with an existing sorafenib treatment. It is assumed that this combination will prolong overall survival and time-to-progression with lowered adverse effects in HCC patients.
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.
In this study, we intend to divide the subjects who have been confirmed recurrent HCC into two groups: Group A: treatment with pure surgery or Group B: treatment with pure radio frequency. We will compare the non-tumor survival time, long-term survival rate between the two groups, summarize the merits and demerits of both groups, and try to establish a standardized therapy and treatment for the this kind of patients through prospective studies on the molecular biological difference of pathological samples between the first and second surgeries.
To confirm that SHVE is a safe and effective procedure and it can prevent bleeding of the hepatic vein. To evaluate the recurrence and metastasis in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy by SHVE.To evaluate that SHVE can improve survival in HCC patients or not.
The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of cytoreductive surgery followed by Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) with TACE alone in patients with MNHCC so as to establish a treatment standard for MNHCC.
The aim of this study is to analyze the therapeutic effect of adjuvant TACE after resection.Patients receiving curative resection (R0) were randomized to postoperative TACE group and no TACE group. The time to recurrence ,the overall survival as well as the incidence of complications after therapy was observed to confirm the role of adjuvant TACE.
The aim of this study is to analyze the therapeutic effect of adjuvant Licartin therapy after resection.Patients receiving curative resection (R0) were randomized to postoperative Licartin group and no Licartin group. The time to recurrence ,the overall survival as well as the incidence of complications after therapy was observed to confirm the role of adjuvant therapy of Licartin.
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.
