Filter by:Portal vein embolization is often recommended to reduce the risk of postoperative liver failure and mortality. In this retrospective cohort study, researchers investigated the effect of portal vein embolization in patients with resectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma bismuth type III and IV.
This phase II trial tests how well sacituzumab govitecan works in treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called hRS7, linked to a toxic agent, called SN-38. HRS7 is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as TROP2 receptors, and delivers SN-38 to kill them.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about radiofrequency ablation in patients with unresectable bile duct cancer who receive systemic chemotherapy and bile duct stenting. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does radiofrequency ablation of tumorous bile duct occlusion reduce risk of complications in these patients (eg stent dysfunction, delay of chemotherapy, infections etc)? - Is radiofrequency ablation safe in these patients? All participants will receive standard treatment with systemic chemotherapy and bile duct stenting. Researchers will compare two groups (one group will receive additional radiofrequency ablation, the other not).
LITALHICA is a prospective non-randomized study aimed at exploring the outcome of liver transplantation in selected patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) after treatment with standard of care chemotherapy, in terms of overall survival and quality of life. Additionally, the study aims to identify pre-transplant biological markers and clinical factors that can stratify patients with the best post-transplant prognosis. Finally, the study aims to investigate the role of preoperative PET-MRI, especially in relation to lymph node locations, by correlating the results with histological examination after hilar lymphadenectomy.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of endoscopic scissors cutting nasobiliary ducts in the treatment of malignant hilar biliary tract stenosis
This is an observational study with a prospective cohort design. This study enrolled patients with suspected hilar cholangiocarcinoma on imaging. This study aims to evaluate the histopathological diagnostic efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with or without peroral cholangioscopy targeted biopsy (POCS-TB) in patients with suspected hilar cholangiocarcinoma. In addition, the incidence of complications was compared between the EUS-FNA/B and ERCP with or without POCS-TB. The impact of the histopathological diagnosis on survival outcomes in patients with suspected hilar cholangiocarcinoma was evaluated.
Prospective pilot study to assess the feasibility and efficacy of intrahepatic plastic biliary stents with a retrieval string in patients with presumed resectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma requiring biliary drainage of the future liver remnant.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the recommendations of the artificial intelligence clinical decision support system 'ADBoard', with the recommendations of physicians by tumor conferences in patients with hepatobiliary tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can ADBoard achieve a high level of similar recommendations as physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard consider a more complete set of patient-related data than in physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard reduce the time between the first time the patient is discussed at the tumor conference and the start of the recommended treatment plan? Participants will have their hepatobiliary tumor treatments determined by either tumor conference with ADBoard, or tumor conference without ADBoard.
The goal of this observational cohort study is to assess the yield of preoperative endoscopic ultrasound focussed on lymph nodes in patients with presumed resectable perihilar (pCCA), intrahepatic (iCCA) or mid-common bile duct (CBD) cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer is: 1. The number of patients precluded from surgical work-up due to positive regional or extraregional lymph nodes identified by endoscopic ultrasound guided tissue acquisition 2. Characteristics during endoscopic ultrasound of lymph nodes associated with malignancy
This is a prospective, observational diagnostic study aiming to assess multiparametric MRI-based clinico-radiomics for identifying lymph node metastasis status in hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
