The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in the treatment of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, its survival rate ranks only second to lung cancer and it is a severe threat to human health. In Egypt, HCC constitutes a significant public health problem. Where it is responsible for 33.63% and 13.54% of all cancers in males and females respectively. It has a poor prognosis after discovery, which is usually at a late stage of disease. This had been strongly linked to the hepatitis C virus epidemic that affected around 10-15% of the Egyptian population during the last 3 decades, and was reported as the highest prevalence of HCV in the world. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms involved remain unclear. The occurrence of HCC is a complicated process involving multiple genes and steps. Imbalances in cellular signal transduction pathways, deficiencies in DNA repair regulating genes, activation of protooncogenes, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and epigenetic modifications all promote the occurrence of liver cancer.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy, and its incidence is expected to increase in many countries in coming decades. Approximately 70-80% of newly diagnosed HCC patients already have advanced disease. Sorafenib and lenvatinib are recommended as first-line options for advanced HCC, the median overall survival of the patients with advanced HCC receiving sorafenib reached 10.7 months. Based on the results of phase II clinical studies and the recommendation of guidelines, the PD-1 monoclonal antibody, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, have been approved to treat the patients with advanced HCC by the FDA. PD-1 monoclonal antibody has been recommended as a second-line therapeutic strategy for HCC in the 2018 CSCO guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer. However, the results of existing studies indicate that the objective response rate (ORR) of first-line PD-1 antibody therapy for patients with advanced liver cancer is about 20%. There is a growing recognition of radiation-induced cancer cells-external tumor control mechanisms, in which radiation therapy(RT) contributes not only to local control of target lesions, but also to the control of metastases away from the treatment site. In recent years, RT combined with immunotherapy as a new treatment method has achieved certain curative effect in some patients with metastatic cancer. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the efficacy of combining radiation therapy plus systemic anti-PD-1 immunotherapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
This phase IIa trial studies long-term low-dose erlotinib hydrochloride treatment to assess its efficacy and safety to prevent development of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with liver cirrhosis.
The aim of this study is to observe the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in preventing high-risk recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma patients after liver transplantation.The cases are from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent liver transplantation in the liver surgery department of Shanghai Renji Hospital. Patients enrolled in the study were randomly allocated in the lenvatinib group (54 patients) and the control group (54 patients) after stable condition.
The study is to explore the correlation between intestinal flora diversity and meta bolites in patients with advanced lver cancer rceiving Anti-PD-1 combined target-ed drug therapy,so that to get the analysis of intestinal flora of PD-1 inhibitors in liver cancer.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib plus toripalimab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).
Rationale for the trial. To evaluate the impact of surgery on hepatocarcinoma recurrence. Thus, to evaluate the impact of different clinical, radiological, histopathological variables on recurrence after surgical treatment. The nature of this study will allow to observe, over time, the distribution of the considered collection variables, allowing a strictly observational monitoring of possible associations able to suggest models or interpretations, which can then be the basis for the construction of prospective and randomized studies.
the aim of this work to compare effectiveness of drug-eluting bead trans-arterial chemo-embolization and conventional trans-arterial chemo-embolization of hepatic cell carcinoma in the aspect of (Tumor response via m-RECIST criteria), (liver injury via Liver function tests and tumor markers) and (survival outcome) of patients treated in Assiut university .
