Filter by:HCC is the most common malignant liver tumor for which liver transplantation is one of the pivotal curative treatments. The best possible selection of patients who are candidates for transplantation is essential in the current context of a shortage of transplants. Performing a PET CT scan is not currently recommended in the pre-liver transplant workup for HCC. However, PET CT using in a complementary manner the FDG and Choline tracers appears promising in the management of HCC in view of its wide use in oncology and its major diagnostic and prognostic contribution compared to conventional imaging. In order to address this issue, a prospective cohort study including patients from the University Hospital of Rouen and Lille with hepatocellular carcinoma meeting the criteria for indication of liver transplantation validated in SPC will be set up, the main objective of which will be to assess the decision-making contribution of PET TDM FDG and Choline in addition to conventional imaging in the pre-transplant assessment.
This research will have a significant impact on the overall management of those cancer patients and their family members who are at risk for hereditary cancer due to germline inactivation of BAP1. Our study will ultimately facilitate the development of novel screening, prevention and treatment strategies for these individuals with the syndrome. Because the vast majority of UM develop in pre-existing nevi, characterization of individuals at high risk for development of UM will allow closer screening and earlier intervention which would improve the treatment outcome not only for retaining vision but also for overall survival. Similarly in patients with germline BAP1 mutation CM develops in premalignant atypical melanocytic lesions and careful follow up of these patients will improve the outcome of their disease. In addition this study could have impact on the management of patients with personal and/or family history of several other cancers reported in patients with germline BAP1 mutation such as mesothelioma, renal cell carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, meningioma and basal cell carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma treated by laparotomy or laparoscopic Multicenter prospective, open, superiority, controlled, randomized, clinical trial The primary objective of the study will be to demonstrate the superiority of the laparoscopic approach over the open approach in reducing postoperative morbidity in HCC patients. Postoperative morbidity will be assessed using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is a common disease in the East Asia. Although resection was recommend for early stage (BCLC A stage) patients according to the BCLC (Barcelona clinical liver cancer) system, increasing studies suggested that preoperative transarterial therapy may decrease the recurrence risk for those with high-risk factors. However, the clinical value is still undertermined. Recently, FOLFOX (Oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil) based hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) exhibited high response rate for unresectable HCC. Pilot study showed TACE combined HAIC (TACE-HAIC) had better tumor response, with low progression disease rate. Whether TACE-HAIC would improve survival for BCLC A stage patients with high-risk factors is need to further to study. A randomized clinical trial compared neo-TACE-HAIC with surgery versus surgery alone is aimed to answer this question.
Guanabana, known also as Graviola or Annona muricata is a tropical fruit which has been commonly used as complimentary/alternative medicine in Latin American countries. The main compounds in Graviola are the annonaceous acetogenins. These acetogenins have been shown to be selective and toxic against various types of cancer cells in-vitro and in-vivo experimental animal models. In spite of this evidence of anti tumor activity of Graviola, no prospective clinical studies have been carried out to determine if it also has clinical activity.The Investigator have observed two patients at Auxilio Mutuo Cancer Center who experienced significant tumor shrinkage while taking a tea made of Graviola leaves. Neither of these patients were taking any other treatment for their cancer. The investigator propose to conduct a study using guanabana leaves extract in patients with Gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) adenocarcinoma, as well as in Gastric adenocarcinoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Low Grade Lymphomas and Colorectal adenocarcinoma.
To study the safety and clinical effect of injection of drug-eluting microspheres with multiple chemodrug and protein drugs into advanced solid tumors.
The CaPture trial is a prospective, multi-centre, non-randomized phase II study. Its aim is to assess feasibility, safety and efficacy signals of Cabozantinib treatment in patients with HCC and prior non-response or disease progression during a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor treatment. Since the potential study population is very small, the sample size has been fixed in advance to N = 40. Time on treatment (TT) will be measured as primary endpoint.
This phase II trial studies how well 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT works in early detection of liver cancer. 68Gallium-PSMA is a radioactive tracer designed to circulate through the body and attach itself to the prostate- specific membrane antigen (PSMA) protein on liver cancer cells. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a scan that uses magnetic and radio waves to produce detailed structural information of the organs, tissues, and structures within the body. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging test that helps to measure the information about functions of tissues and organs within the body. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. Computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to create images of the bones and internal organs within your body. Combining a PET scan with an MRI or CT scan may help make the images easier to interpret. This trial may help determine if 68Ga- PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT can improve upon the diagnosis and management of liver cancer in the future.
This is a single center, single arm and open-label study to determine the safety of mRNA modified HBV-TCR redirected T-cells and to analyze the changes in tumor microenvironment caused by these HBV-TCR redirected T-cells in subjects with HBV-related HCC who are not amenable to/failed conventional treatment.
Radiation is a standard treatment option for patients with liver cancer. Unfortunately, the tumour grows after radiation in many patients and radiation can harm normal tissues. A new treatment using a specialized radiation procedure called Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may increase the chance to control liver cancer and reduce the chance of harm to normal tissues. SBRT allows radiation treatments to be focused more precisely, and be delivered more accurately than with older treatments. SBRT has become a routine treatment. Further research has found that specialized computer programs can possibly guide the selection of an appropriate SBRT dose. This is called radiobiological guidance. However, this has not yet been proven to improve outcomes and/or reduce toxicity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out if SBRT at standard dose versus SBRT guided by radiobiological techniques is better for you and your liver cancer.
