Filter by:The goal of this interventional study is to create hepatocellular carcinoma organoids from liver bioptic samples of individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - the feasibility of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids integrated with host gut microbiota and peripheral blood mononuclear cells - the molecular pattern of the organoid tumor microenvironment - the in vitro therapeutic response of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death and the second most deadly malignancy in Taiwan. Despite decades' intensive studies, surgery and local-regional chemo-embolization, radio-frequency ablation or radiation therapy remain the mainstay of HCC treatments.
It is sometimes difficult to precisely understand whether a primary liver cancer is a hepatocellular carcinoma or a cholangiocarcinoma. The researchers will develop and validate a liquid biopsy, based on exosomal content analysis and powered by machine learning, to help clinicians differentiate these two cancers before surgery.
Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) plus lenvatinib and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor have shown promising results for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the evidence for infiltrative is limited. In this study, we aimed to describe the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor with HAIC plus lenvatinib for infiltrative HCC.
ETN101 is a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor (mTKI) targeting fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that ETN101 treatment/administration inhibited cancer cell survival and proliferation. In animal models, ETN101 had antitumor activity when administered to animals that did not respond to conventional targeted anticancer agents.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The incidence of HCC has been rapidly rising worldwide over the last two decades. In order to improve survival with curative treatment, regular surveillance to detect early-stage HCC is recommended for at-risk populations. Although ultrasonography (US) has been endorsed as the primary surveillance tool for HCC, a recent meta-analysis found that US has a sensitivity of 47% for detecting early-stage HCC, and its sensitivity for detecting early-stage HCC has been questioned. Many recent studies have explored the potential of alternative surveillance tools for HCC other than US, particularly for high-risk patients. Although complete gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated excellent performance, its high cost and long examination time can hamper its widespread adoption. Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) including hepatobiliary-phase imaging is a promising option to detect potential indicators of HCC, maintaining the benefits of highly sensitive imaging while reducing the examination time by omitting dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging. Because US is the current primary surveillance tool for HCC, this new surveillance tool must be compared with US in a prospective randomized comparative design. Thus, the hypothesis to be proved in this study is as follows: AMRI with gadoxetic acid will show a significantly higher detection rate compared to US for the detection of early-stage HCC in patients with cirrhosis and at high risk of developing HCC, defined as an estimated annual HCC risk of higher than 5%. We will also analyze whether the false-referral rate of AMRI with gadoxetic acid is not compromised by its high detection rate.
The purpose of this study is to compare laparoscopic ablation to open ablation of liver malignancies regarding complication rates and ablation response as well as quality of life following the surgery.
This is a single-center, single-arm, phase II clinical study, to explore the efficacy and safety of modified TOMOX-HAIC combined with sintilimab and bevacizumab biosimilar as first line treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Primary liver cancer is currently the fourth most common malignant tumor and the second leading cause of tumor mortality in China, posing a serious threat to the lives and health of the Chinese people . At present, non-surgical treatment methods are often used, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), radiation therapy, and systemic anti-tumor therapy. However, whether it is surgical treatment or non-surgical treatment, commonly used liver cancer related biomarkers in clinical practice during the evaluation of treatment efficacy or regular follow-up of patients include AFP, AFP-L3%, DCP, etc. , but there are no reports on whether AKR1B10 can be used for the efficacy evaluation of these treatment methods.Therefore, this project aims to explore the clinical value of AKR1B10 in evaluating the efficacy of liver cancer treatment.
This study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Cardonilizumab and Bevacizumab in hepatocellular carcinoma with pulmonary metastases.
