Filter by:In this study, effects of γδT cells on human hepatocellular liver cancer in combination with tumor reducing surgery, for example cryosurgery going to be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze the value of 3D ultrasound perfusion imaging for treatment planning, the prediction of therapy success, and to monitor the treatment response in patients with a primary or metastatic liver tumor undergoing radiation treatment.
The study intervention consists of the early integration of palliative care services into standard oncology care in an outpatient setting for patients with advanced lung and non-colorectal gastrointestinal malignancies who are not being treated with curative intent. The palliative care services provided to patients randomized to the intervention will be provided by board-certified physicians and/or advanced practice nurses and will focus on the following areas: (1) developing and maintaining the therapeutic relationship with the patients and family caregivers; (2) assessing and treating patient symptoms; (3) providing support and reinforcement of coping with advanced cancer in patients and family caregivers; (4) assessing and enhancing prognostic awareness and illness understanding in patients and family caregivers; (5) assisting with treatment decision-making; and (6) end-of-life care planning.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for unresectable Portal venous tumor emboli.
The investigators will determine the cancer risk in organ transplant recipients compared to the general population with the help of statistical analysis. Secondly the investigators will try to characterize the different cancer types.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroportion in unresectable liver cancer close to diaphragmatic dome.
Detect plasma Hsp90α concentration of liver cancer patients, healthy volunteers, benign liver diseases.
This study is designed as a hospital-based cross-sectional and randomized placebo-controlled intervention trial. One hundred and fifty patients with either cirrhosis or cirrhosis combined with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited from Taichung General Veterans Hospital. One hundred patients will be randomly assigned to either the 1) placebo group (n = 25); 2) vitamin B-6 group; (50 mg/d, n = 25); 3) glutathione (GSH) group (500 mg/d, n = 25); or 4) vitamin B-6 (50 mg/d) plus GSH (500 mg/d) group (n = 25) for 3 mo. Data on demography, anthropometry and medical history will be collected. Patients with cirrhosis or cirrhosis combined with HCC will have fasting blood drawn in the clinics. Additionally, patients who participated in the intervention study will have blood drawn at month 0, 1, 2 and 3 during intervention period. Hematological measurements, plasma vitamin B-6 status, GSH, inflammatory markers, homocysteine, cysteine, SAM, SAH, oxidative stress indicator, oxidized GSH and GSH related antioxidant enzyme activities will be analyzed.
The safety and efficacy of ω-3 fatty acid in patients with liver cancer followed hepatectomy is not known. This study provided evidences that ω-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition improved postoperative recovery for cirrhotic patients with liver cancer underwent hepatectomy..
The administration of SIR-Spheres microspheres (yttrium-90 resin microspheres) is a form of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for the treatment of patients with primary and secondary liver tumours. The primary objective is to observe the real-life clinical application of radioembolisation with SIR-Spheres and the impact of the treatment in clinical practice. Secondary objectives are to observe safety and effectiveness of SIR-Spheres treatment in terms of adverse events, Overall Survival (OS), Progression-free survival (PFS), technical considerations, liver PFS and Quality of Life (QoL) + subgroup analyses
