Filter by:The endpoint of this study is to develop and validate algorithms, using artificial intelligence and machine learning, to optimize patient selection, treatment planning, treatment evaluation and outcome prediction in patients undergoing thermal ablation of a malignant liver tumor. The long-term objective is to establish thermal ablation as the treatment of choice for the vast majority of patients with a primary or secondary liver tumor by development of an accessible workflow that can be widely implemented in different centers performing thermal ablation. Over a time span of at least four years, data will be collected prospectively, encompassing patient information, tumor characteristics, and treatment details. Additionally, pre-, intra-, and post-procedural imaging will be systematically gathered.
Efficacy and Safety of Ciprofol Sedation in Patients Undergoing Liver Cancer Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation
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).
Liposomal bupivacaine is a novel long-acting local anesthetic approved by the FDA for postoperative analgesia because of its ability to significantly prolong the analgesic effect for up to 72 hours. Up to now, no study has demonstrated the effect of postoperative analgesia with liposomal bupivacaine by thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine for pain management and recovery after liver resection. Methods: 96 patients were involved in this randomized, prospective, single-blind study. Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were undergoing liver resection were divided into two groups: liposome bupivacaine group (liposomal bupivacaine 133mg) and standard bupivacaine combined with dexamethasone group (standard bupivacaine 150mg and dexamethasone 5mg). Both groups were applied ultrasound guided TPVB. The primary outcome was the cumulative opioid consumptionfor 72 hours. Secodary outcomes included QoR-40 at 72 hours, pain visual analog scale (VAS) score area under the curve (AUC) from 6 hours to 3 months, sleep quality at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. Adverse events and serious adverse events 3 months after TPVB were also recorded.
Our project is a large-scale characterisation of cHCC-CCA will allow us to determine which subsets harbor actionable gene alterations. We will also aim to improve diagnosis of this tumor type by the use of immunohistochemical biomarkers and the development of deep-learning based models able to help cHCC-CCA diagnosis. This will represent an important step towards precision medicine for the patients with this highly aggressive malignancy.
This is a single arm, open-label, dose escalation clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of infused autologous GPC3-directed CAR-T in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma refractory to prior systematic treatments.
The investigators long-term goal is to identify molecular and immunological signatures that can be used as biomarkers to accurately predict early recurrence and inform immunotherapeutic strategies in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. As an initial step toward this long-term investigation, represented by this proposal, the investigators aim to comprehensively and globally describe the patterns of autoantibody expressions, the possible role in disease outcomes, and the relationship between these autoantibodies to tumor-specific/tumor-associated antigens by histologic examination as well as to peripheral immune characteristics in HCC patients with or without recurrence after surgery.
LIBRARY is a prospective, multi-center, observational study aimed at detecting early liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic cancers by combining assays of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation, serum protein, and microRNA.
Our primary aim is to investigate whether perioperative remote ischemic conditioning (PRIC) as an adjunctive treatment can improve postoperative recovery in patients undergoing hepatectomy as an adjunct to standard treatment.
Little is known about whether the types of chemotherapeutic agents affect the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Although doxorubicin is the most commonly-used chemotherapeutic agent in the world, idarubicin is recently in the spotlight after promising results of the in vitro and prospective single-arm studies. On the other hand, there are many reports showing that the type of chemotherapeutic agents does not significantly alter the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization. This is a randomized-controlled trial to show the non-inferiority of idarubicin compared to doxorubicin in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who receive transarterial chemoembolization as the first-line treatment.
