Filter by:This study uses to suppress the growth of tumors, extend the patient's survival time and improve the quality of life as much as possible. Through the treatment, the patient is given the chance to undergo surgical resection, thereby more effectively prolonging the OS. Apatinib is a small-molecule VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It mainly treats malignant tumors by inhibiting VEGFR and exerting anti-angiogenic effects. Preclinical studies have shown that its anti-tumor effect is better than that of the similar drug PTK787. Phase II studies of hepatocellular carcinoma have initially demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of apatinib in the treatment of advanced HCC. Radiotherapy of tumors and portal vein tumor thrombi can promote further tumor shrinkage, and at the same time, the physiological basis for the recanalization of the original tumor thrombus itself will result in necrosis and fibrosis of the tumor thrombus, completely blocking the blood supply to the tumor portal vein. As a result, blood supply to the other side of the portal vein increases, and hepatocyte regeneration in a healthy liver is promoted, so that the patient can obtain surgical opportunities. Based on the therapeutic potential of apatinib and radiotherapy, we designed a prospective exploratory clinical study of this patient with advanced liver cancer.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine Babaodan on tumor recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resection, as well as the safety of this treatment

TACE embolized tumor artery blood supply to inhibit tumor growth and shrink tumors. Based on the therapeutic potential of apatinib, and TACE in their respective tumors, we designed a prospective exploratory clinical study of this patient with advanced liver cancer.
Efficacy and Safety of Apatinib Combined With TACE in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Refractory to Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization .
The aim of this work is to study the role of circulating miRNAs in diagnosis of HCV related hepatocellular carcinoma.
To date, Sorafenib is the only drug therapy to have demonstrated a benefit in overall survival in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. However, this treatment causes many adverse effects that may limit its prescription. Under these conditions, predicting and therefore potentially preventing the adverse effects of sorafenib is a major issue in the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with this drug. Currently, there is little data available on the correlation between the pharmacokinetics of sorafenib and the side effects of this drug in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma. Investigators propose an observational cohort study evaluating the correlation between residual plasma concentration of sorafenib and the risk of severe adverse effects (grades 3-5) in treatment in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis. This study should include 60 patients over an expected duration of 12 months. The aim of this work is to determine whether there is a correlation between the residual plasma concentration of sorafenib and the occurrence of severe adverse effects (grades 3-5) at treatment in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis as well as potential influence of the etiology of cirrhosis on this relationship. The ultimate ambition is to be able to anticipate and thus prevent these adverse effects in order to increase the safety of the drug and potentially its effectiveness.
Hepatocellular carcinoma represents the commonest primary cancer of the liver.serum lactate dehydrogenase is an indirect marker of tumor hypoxia,angioneogenesis and worse prognosis.
The aim of this study is to elucidate the utility of the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab in preventing the recurrence of HCC when administered before and after curative surgery or ablation.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world with major occurrences in eastern Asian countries such as China. HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. There are multiple treatment options for liver cancer including surgery, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), liver transplantation, absolute ethanol injection, radiation therapy, and biological therapy. Surgery is the primary radical treatment measure for HCC, but its indication is narrow and is only suitable for certain group of patients. Another common treatment for liver cancer, TACE, can not only block tumor blood supply, control tumor growth, or even cause necrosis and result in tumor shrinkage, it can also deliver target chemotherapy drugs to the tumor tissue. However, there are still some controversies on the efficacy of TACE treatment. Therefore in this study, we will conduct a randomized comparison study of the efficacy of surgical resection and TILA-TACE treatment.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative liver stiffness measurement(LSM) by FibroScan in predicting the progress of liver fibrosis and prognosis after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Background: Progress of liver fibrosis and liver failure and related poor prognosis after TACE which are not completely predictable by current method including Child-Pugh Classification. LSM is used to calculate the degree of liver fibrosis and is affected by several liver injury, e.g. elevated Alanine aminotransferase（ALT）, Aspartate transaminase(AST) and Bilirubin et al. The investigators assume that LSM could be use to predict progress of liver fibrosis and adverse effects after TACE in HCC. Methods: At least 200 patients will be recruited in this prospective observational study with preoperative LSM, demographic, laboratory, radiological and other treatment-related factors. Participants will be followed up till death or to the end of study no matter the liver failure occurs or not. Data will be analyzed to build a mathematical predicting model. Research hypothesis：TACE is related to progress of liver fibrosis and a mathematical model with LSM is able to predict the risk of liver failure and prognosis in HCC.
