Filter by:Currently, comprehensive treatments for liver metastasis/pulmonary metastasis that cannot reach NED include systemic chemotherapy, interventional chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and local treatments (ablation therapy, radiation therapy, etc.) for liver metastases. Combination therapy model of local ablation, systemic chemotherapy, and anti-PD -1 monoclonal antibody hopefully can prolong patient survival. This trial will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of carrelizumab combined with microwave ablation and chemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastasis/pulmonary metastasis
To determine whether exercise and nutrition prehabilitation improves patient outcomes after cancer surgery
RAPID is an auxiliary liver transplantation where a small liver partial graft (namely left lateral segments from living or cadaveric donors) is implanted orthotopically after a left hepatectomy of the native liver. Subsequently, in order to implement a fast regeneration of the transplanted segments a portal flow diversion is operated in the direction of the future remnant. After obtaining a fast regeneration of the auxiliary future remnant liver the native liver hepatectomy is completed as in a two stage- hepatectomy. Peculiar inclusion criteria will be adopted for patient selection with particular reference to the admission of patients with <3 lung metastases radically treated before transplantation.
Patients with multiple colorectal liver metastases that progress on 1st line chemotherapy have a very dismal prognosis, and their options are few. Resections are regularly performed although this is only supported by anecdotal evidence for this patient group. We want to assess whether resections actually confer benefit as compared to 2nd line chemotherapy alone, in a randomized controlled trial.
The management of liver metastases in neuroendocrine neoplasms is challenging. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) is one of the most promising therapeutic options. As liver is the most frequent site of metastatic disease, our project proposes to compare administration of radiolabeled SSA by arterial intrahepatic infusion (experimental approach) vs intravenous administration (conventional). Evaluation will be made by (i) comparing 68Ga-DOTA-peptides uptake after intra-hepatic versus intravenous route (imaging), (ii) by evaluating the safety of an additional intra-hepatic administration of therapeutic radiolabeled SSA (therapy).
Liver Transplantation for Unresectable GIST Liver Metastases
Breast cancer ranks as the top leading malignant tumors among females, and also accounts for the most common cause of tumor related mortality in females worldwide. Approximately, 20-30% of breast cancer cases develop metastasis, while 50% of patients will suffer from breast cancer liver metastasis. The proper indication for surgical treatment of breast cancer liver metastasis is still a matter of discussion. Surgery is becoming more practical and effective than conservative treatment in improving the outcomes of patients with breast cancer liver metastasis and liver metastasis surgery is included in an onco- surgical strategy.
Grade 2 neuroendocrine tumors have an intermediate rate of progression following embolotherapy of liver metastases. The combination of capecitabine and temozolomide has been shown to be an active regimen in this disease. Both drugs are radiosensitizers, and in a safety and feasibility study were combined with yttrium-90 radioembolization with acceptable additive toxicities and better than expected response and duration of disease control. This study expands use of this regimen in a Phase 2 investigation to confirm efficacy of the integrated chemoradiation technique.
Colorectal cancer patients with initially unresectable liver-only metastases may be cured after downsizing of metastases by conversion therapy. However, the optimal regimen of conversion therapy for RAS mutant patients has not been defined. In this study colorectal cancer patients with initially unresectable liver-only metastases, as prospectively confirmed by a local multidisciplinary team (MDT) according to predefined criteria, will be tested for RAS and BRAF tumor mutation status. Patients with RAS mutant and BRAF wild type will be randomised between modified FOLFOXIRI (mFOLFOXIRI) plus bevacizumab and modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) plus bevacizumab. Patient imaging will be reviewed for resectability by MDT, consisting of at least one radiologist and three liver surgeons every assessment. MDT review will be performed prior to randomization as well as during treatment, as described in the protocol.
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.
