Filter by:This research study is being done to collect data and analyze the motion of soft tissue in the abdomen (liver, pancreas, stomach and intestines) of people who have pancreatic and liver cancer as well as healthy volunteers. During the study researchers will look at the movement of organs in the abdomen that naturally occurs with breathing and with a bowel movement. This study will examine the differences between abdominal soft tissue motion in healthy volunteers and in cancer patients with the goal of developing a better way to manage and minimize the abdominal soft tissue motion. Accurate location of the tumor is very important in treatment delivery and reduction of toxicity.
The purpose of this Phase I / II study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of NBTXR3 nanoparticles given by intralesional (IL) or intraarterial (IA) injection and activated by Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in the treatment of liver cancers.
MNA-3521-011 study is a multi-centre, open-label, first-in-human, phase 1a/b clinical study dose/dose frequency escalation followed by a cohort expansion part. MTL-CEBPA is administered as monotherapy or in combination with sorafenib to patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis of the liver. All participants will be considered unsuitable for liver tumour resection and/or is refractory to radiotherapy and other loco-regional therapies. MTL-CEBPA consists of a double stranded RNA formulated into a SMARTICLES® liposomal nanoparticle and is designed to activate the CEBPA gene.
This is a single-center, prospective RCT to study the effectiveness of TACE and MWA combination therapy with MWA monotherapy for the treatment of early HCC. Primary outcome is 2-year intrahepatic disease-free survival.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether fusion technique of pre-radiofrequency ablation (RFA) cross-sectional imaging (CT or MR) and real-time ultrasonography would improve feasibility of RFA in patients with liver tumor in comparison with ultrasonography guidance alone.
This phase I trial is to investigate the safety and the possible side effects of bi-specific antibody armed T-cell therapy when given together with low-dose IL-2 in treating patients with Her2-positive neoplasms of digestive system. Expanded autologues T cells that have been coated with bi-specific antibodies, such as anti-CD3 and anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Interleukin-2 may stimulate white blood cells to kill tumor cells.
This prospective non-randomized controlled trial aims to determine whether autotransfusion of red blood cells salvaged before liver resection is associated with the recurrence-free survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Background: Liver cancer begins in the cells of the liver. It can be treated with chemotherapy, radiation, or even a liver transplant. A less invasive treatment may be able to help some people with liver cancer. It is called percutaneous transarterial embolization (TAE). For TAE, a material is injected into blood vessels to block the blood flow that is feeding the tumor. Researchers want to test a new material for TAE that may shrink tumors and can be seen on x-ray and CT images. The embolization may sometimes be combined with thermal ablation, or cooking tumors with needles that deliver heat by electricity or microwave. Objective: To test an embolization material called an LC LUMI beads. To see if it can block blood vessels that provide blood to cancerous tumors and to see how the beads look on x-ray and CT images. Eligibility: Adults 18 85 years old who have been diagnosed with liver cancer Design: Participants will have routine blood tests, physical exams, and x-rays. Participants will be screened with blood tests, physical exam, and medical history. They will have a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis. This will include a contrast drink and a contrast (dye) injected in the veins. Participants will be admitted to the clinic. They will repeat the screening tests. Participants may have other tests. These may include x-rays, other scans, or ultrasound. Participants will be evaluated for general anesthesia. They will get counseling about the procedure. Participants will get anesthesia. The LC LUMI beads will be injected into blood vessels. The beads contain iodine, which makes them visible by x-ray and by a CT scan machine. Participants will have follow-up visits for 12 months. They will have CT scans and/or other radiologic tests.
Every patient undergoing surgery in the abdomen, such as hepatic resection, will experience temporary paralysis of bowel function. This study aims to evaluate whether smoked plum and chewing gum can reduce the bowel paralysis after hepatic resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. One third of the study population will receive smoked plum, one third with chewing gum, and the last will act as empty control.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third most common cause of cancer-related mortality. In recent years, transarterial chemoembolization, radio frequency ablation and microwave ablation have been accepted as treatment modalities for patients with surgically unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
