Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can do some tests on tissue from the area of the ablation. The investigators want to know if a test can help predict whether the ablation worked. The treated tumor is normally evaluated with CT. The CT shows signs of treated tumor(s) in the area treated by ablation. However, cancer cells may begin to grow in or near the treated area. The CT scan cannot tell us if the cells are new cancer cells or if they are healthy liver cells that just look different because of the ablation. The test the investigators will study should be able to tell us the difference.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether RADIOEMBOLIZATION with 90 Yttrium microspheres is more effective on overall survival in advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with or without portal venous obstruction and no extrahepatic extension than sorafenib which is now the standard treatment of advanced HCC.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if there is a difference in patients' quality of recovery if they receive 1 of 2 standard kinds of pain control treatments after surgery on the liver and/or pancreas. Researchers want to learn which method helps people to recover more completely and more quickly after surgery. The 2 kinds of pain control are intravenous (IV) pain management and epidural pain management.
The long-term outcomes of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) administration in patients undergoing hepatic resection remain unclear. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of oral supplementation with BCAA on the prevention for the development of liver tumorigenesis in patients undergoing liver resection.
The purpose of this study is to determine if PI-88 is effective and safe in patients who have had surgery to remove primary liver cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare two types of care - standard oncology care and standard oncology care with early palliative care (started soon after diagnosis) to see which is better for improving the experience of patients and families with advanced lung and non-colorectal GI cancer. The study will use questionnaires to measure patients' and caregivers' quality of life, mood, coping and understanding of their illness.
The purpose of this research study is to assess what the participant understands about their illness, prognosis, the goals of the cancer treatment and their communication with their oncology providers. This study will help us to figure out how the investigators can improve how other patients understand their illness and goals of treatment and help us improve communication with their doctors. This research is being done because there is not a lot of information on how much patients understand about their illness and prognosis.
To develop a real-time diagnostic technique with e- Ab sensor for specific LECT2 detection in clinical specimens of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, the investigators conduct a prospective clinical study. In comparison with results from direct sequencing of LECT2, the investigators evaluate the performance of e- Ab sensor, including reproducibility, sensitivity, specificity, and cross-reaction. With such technique, the investigators can obtain LECT2 information of HCC patients in cost-saving and time-saving way and can offer more individualized treatment for our patients.
This study is to determine whether JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) plus best supportive care is more effective in improving survival than best supportive care in patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) who have failed sorafenib.
The aims of this study are to (1) understand the uncertainty , personality and coping strategies in patients with HCC, and identify the significant factors for coping.
