Filter by:This is an observational study in which data from people with cancer that has spread from the pancreas to the liver are collected and studied. These adults will include people who already received their usual treatment and who have had a certain type of imaging scan before the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a cancer that starts in the pancreas, a gland that helps to digest food, and has spread to other parts of the body. Pancreatic cancer most commonly spreads to the liver (called liver metastasis). Gadoxetate sodium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) is a type of imaging technique that uses a specific dye called gadoxetate sodium to produce clearer images of the liver. Participants with pancreatic cancer can be treated with surgery only if their cancer has not spread to other parts of the body. Therefore, it is important to find out if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body before performing surgery. To do this, different imaging scans such as exploratory laparoscopy and CE-CT are used. However, these tests have certain limitations, such as complicated procedures or, in some cases inaccurate results. Some studies suggest that performing EOB-MRI along with a regular CT scan may improve the chances of finding out if pancreatic cancer has spread to the liver. This imaging technique is especially helpful in detecting smaller tumors that may be missed in other types of scan. However, more information is needed to better understand the impact of EOB-MRI in Japanese people under real-world conditions. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how using EOB-MRI helps in deciding the treatment options, how well the participants do, and how much does the use of medical care facilities costs. The main information that researchers will collect in this study: participant characteristics, including age, sex, whether they smoke or not, how well they can manage daily tasks, any other health problems they have, how advanced their cancer is, and if they have undergone laparoscopy the length of time: from the date of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer until a participant dies (called overall survival) from the date of first treatment for pancreatic cancer until the cancer spreads of other organs from the date of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer to starting the first treatment from the date of first treatment for pancreatic cancer to starting the second treatment option treatments that the participants have received, including anti-cancer drugs, radiation, and surgery the number of hospital visits, use of healthcare facilities, and related costs. The information in this study will be grouped based on the participants who had an EOB-MRI and those who had non EOB-MRI. The data will come from the participants' information stored in a database called Medical Data Vision (MDV) in Japan. Data collected will be from January 2011 to October 2022. Researchers will track individual patients' data for at least 1 year, until death, until there is no health record in the MDV for 2 months after treatment starts, or until the end of study. In this study, only available data from health records are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
This prospective study aims to perform intra-individual comparison of the image quality between low dose liver CT with deep learning reconstruction and standard dose liver CT with iterative reconstruction in patients with liver metastasis.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of liver stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) given in combination with systemic therapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in adults with metastatic melanoma with liver metastases who are at significant risk of not benefiting from systemic therapy alone.
There is a high prevalence of hepatic cirrhosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), or chemotherapy-induced hepatic atrophy or hepatosteatosis in patients with liver metastases associated with high risk of radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MRI-SPION radiotherapy planning will facilitate detection and maximize avoidance of residual functionally active hepatic parenchyma from over-the-threshold irradiation thus increasing safety of liver SBRT in patients with pre-existing liver conditions. The investigators have previously demonstrated that liver SBRT with SPECT/CT functional treatment planning utilizing 99mTc sulfur colloid in transplant eligible patients associated with minimal hepatotoxicity and without hastening of advanced hepatic cirrhosis progression while patients await liver transplant. Switching from nuclear medicine to an MR-Linac-SPION based quantitative treatment-planning platform will substantially improve diagnostic accuracy in defining safe volumes of residual functional hepatic parenchyma for liver SBRT planning on MR-Linac.
This trial is a single arm, non-randomized prospective trial. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the HistoSonics System for the treatment of primary or metastatic tumors located in the liver.

The co-primary safety and efficacy endpoints must be met for the trial to be successful.
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite successful control of the primary tumour, metastatic disease will develop in approximately 35%-50% of the patients within 10 years. The liver is the most common site for metastases, and about 50% of the patients will have isolated liver metastases. Isolated hepatic perfusion is a regional treatment where the liver is completely isolated from the systemic circulation, allowing a high concentration of chemotherapy to be perfused through the liver with minimal systemic exposure. The introduction of modern immunotherapy in the treatment arsenal for cutaneous melanoma also creates hope for patients with uveal melanoma metastases. However, the results of immunotherapy have so far been disappointing. The reason for the low efficacy could be that uveal melanoma develops in the immune privileged eye. The hypothesis in this trial is that isolated hepatic perfusion with melphalan causes an immunogenic type of cell death by local tumour destruction while leaving the immune-system intact. This will cause an activation of the immune-system and the addition of ipilimumab and nivolumab will enhance this effect, ultimately increasing the treatment efficacy. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of isolated hepatic perfusion together with ipilimumab and nivolumab when given at the same time or as a sequenced regimen. The study design is a phase I randomized controlled, multicentre, open-label trial. Active follow-up will be performed for 2 years. Patients will be randomized after diagnoses of metastatic disease to one of the following treatment arms: Arm A. Patients will be treated with IHP followed by 4 courses of ipilimumab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg every third week followed by continued nivolumab 480mg q4w up to 1 year. Arm B. Patients will be treated with 1 course of ipilimumab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg followed by IHP after 3 weeks and then another 3 courses of ipilimumab 3mg/kg and nivolumab 1mg/kg every third week followed by continued nivolumab 480mg q4w up to 1 year.
This is an open-label, multicentre dose escalation/expansion study to assess safety and tolerability of MIV 818 as either monotherapy or in combination with 1) lenvatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used as a standard of care for the treatment of HCC or 2) pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor. The monotherapy parts of the study will include patients with various solid tumours that have spread to the liver, or alternatively originating in the liver. Evaluations of MIV-818 in combination with lenvatinib or pembrolizumab will only include patients with HCC.

More than 50% of intestinal NETs are metastatic at the time of diagnosis, the liver being the main affected organ in 50-90% of cases. Initial liver tumor burden and slope of the tumor growth rate are two major prognostic factors in patients with intestinal NETs, followed by tumor grade at pathology. They are used in routine practice by oncologists to adapt patient treatment. Unlike other tumors, most NETs metastases are slow-growing tumors. Previous studies have shown that approximately half of the patients diagnosed with liver metastases showed no progression over a period of 3 to 6 months. The aim of this non randomised retrospective cohort study is to investigate whether the volumetric monitoring of the total tumor burden compared to the RECIST 1.1 criteria (used in routine practice by radiologists) at baseline and early follow-up (3 to 6 months) is more suitable for NETs, making possible to predict the prognosis at the onset of the disease, and also allowing a better adaptation of the treatment. The secondary objectives are to evaluate if the initial volume of the liver tumor is a prognostic factor of time to progression, to correlate the initial liver tumor volume and the number of liver lesions to the blood concentration of Chromogranin A (CgA), the presence of extra-abdominal disease and to correlate the tumor growth rate (TGR) and KI 67 (%) at base-line.
