Filter by:This trial is testing the safety of combining the oral chemotherapy drug capecitabine with radio-labeled microspheres injected directly into the liver.
The purpose of this study is to test a new and possibly more accurate method of positioning patients with liver tumors in preparation for radiation treatment. The positioning of patients with liver cancer is important because the tumor moves a bit when you breathe and makes it hard to determine the right position of the tumor at the time of treatment. Also, depending upon what is in your stomach at the time of treatment, it may change the shape of the liver and make it difficult to plan the radiation treatment. As part of this study, we will take a new type of image of your liver in addition to the standard portal images. This new type of image is called a cone-beam image. It shows a much more detailed picture of the liver tumors than the standard portal images. Normally, marker seeds need to be placed near the liver metastasis for radiation treatment. If the results of this study show that the tumor can be positioned as accurately with the new images as with the old images, then future patients with liver tumors would not have to have marker seeds placed into their liver. The use of cone beam imaging for the setup of patients with liver tumors is new.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of liver resection for metastatic, resectable lesions from colorectal cancers after systemic chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Internal radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Using radiolabeled glass beads to kill tumor cells may be effective treatment for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. PURPOSE: To provide expanded access and study the side effects of yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
This phase II study aims to evaluate regional chemotherapy in patients with unresectable primary hepatic malignancy. Specifically, eligible patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and peripheral cholangiocarcinoma, considered unresectable after review by the Hepatobiliary Surgery service, will undergo hepatic artery pump placement and continuous infusion of FUDR. The protocol includes radiological and biological correlative studies.
Acquire CT data and US and transducer position data (magnetic sensor system) of focal hepatic or renal lesions to serve as sample data sets for fusion algorithm development and subsequent optimization.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the Definity (perflutren lipid microsphere Injectable Suspension) ultrasound contrast agent in identifying small tumors (hepatomas & metastases) within the liver. Primary objective: To estimate the increase in conspicuity of small intrahepatic tumors with contrast-enhanced sonography Secondary Objectives: To estimate the effect of tumor type, size, location and depth on the conspicuity of small tumors on contrast-enhanced sonography
This single-arm, open-label study assessed the efficacy and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) treatment combined with transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) in patients with localized unresectable liver cancer. Patients were treated with TACE at 8 or 10 week intervals for 4 sessions (continuation depended on investigator's discretion). Avastin 5 mg/kg intravenously was administered 24-48 hours prior to each TACE session and every 2 weeks between the TACE sessions until disease progression.
The purpose of this study is to determine if PI-88 is effective and safe in patients who have had surgery to remove primary liver cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity of 5-FU in combination with Oxaliplatin delivered via isolated hepatic perfusion.
