Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for unresectable Portal venous tumor emboli.
The investigators will determine the cancer risk in organ transplant recipients compared to the general population with the help of statistical analysis. Secondly the investigators will try to characterize the different cancer types.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroportion in unresectable liver cancer close to diaphragmatic dome.
The safety and efficacy of ω-3 fatty acid in patients with liver cancer followed hepatectomy is not known. This study provided evidences that ω-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition improved postoperative recovery for cirrhotic patients with liver cancer underwent hepatectomy..
The administration of SIR-Spheres microspheres (yttrium-90 resin microspheres) is a form of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for the treatment of patients with primary and secondary liver tumours. The primary objective is to observe the real-life clinical application of radioembolisation with SIR-Spheres and the impact of the treatment in clinical practice. Secondary objectives are to observe safety and effectiveness of SIR-Spheres treatment in terms of adverse events, Overall Survival (OS), Progression-free survival (PFS), technical considerations, liver PFS and Quality of Life (QoL) + subgroup analyses
The main purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of trametinib and sorafenib can help people with hepatocellular cancer. Researchers also want to find out if the combination of trametinib and sorafenib is safe and tolerable.
The aim of the study is to evaluate toxicity and effectiveness of electrochemotherapy with bleomycin in treatment of primary liver tumors in clinical study phase I and II. The study will include 10 patients in phase I clinical study and additional 15 patients in phase II clinical study (or in the extension of the clinical study), which will fulfill inclusion criteria. Treatment effectiveness will be evaluated by DCE-US or CT perfusion, to detect early events in tumor perfusion after ECT compared to tumor perfusion before ECT. Long term effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated by modified RECIST criteria, which will take into account difference in size and density, determined from images obtained by CT perfusion of the treated tumor nodules before and after ECT. Tumor volume will be calculated by following formula , where a will be shorter and b longer tumor diameter. The secondary objectives of the trial are to quantify the impact of the treatment on the patient's quality of life, tolerance to the therapy and suitability for larger study to be conducted.
Patients undergo percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatic tumors at Siriraj hospital normally receive only intravenous sedative drugs which sometimes can not provide effective pain control. TPVB is suitable for unilateral operations. And it is increasing popular nowadays because of using ultrasound guided which make it is more reliable and has less side effects especially the severe one such as pneumothorax. To cover all nerve supply liver, we decided to use right TPVB at T5-6, T7-8, and T9-10. The aim of this study is to prove that TPVB can provide an effective pain control for patients undergo liver RFA both at rest and movement (cough). We are going to measure the pain score at recovery room and the effective pain control means patients has mild pain (pain score less </= 3 and do not ask for analgesic drugs).
The purpose of this research study is evaluate whether it's feasible to give radiation therapy using an MRI-guided adaptive technique. MRI-guided adaptive radiation therapy involves the adjustment or re-planning of treatment day by day while the participant is receiving treatment. The adaptive technique has previously been used in a different fashion to adjust the treatment plan after the fact, but using MRI scanning to re-plan treatment while the participant is still on the table is a new way of using the adaptive technique. This may allow doctors to use more radiation to treat the tumor while better protecting normal tissues. A special radiation treatment machine incorporates both an MRI scanner and radiation treatment devices so that the planning and treatment can be done using the same machine.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of ipilimumab and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The safety and effectiveness of these treatments given consecutively will also be studied. This is an investigational study. SBRT is FDA approved for the control of metastatic and primary tumors. Ipilimumab is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of metastatic melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery. The use of SBRT with ipilimumab is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 120 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
