Filter by:Numerous studies find that anesthetic methods may influence the recurrence of tumor and the overall survival of patients after primary cancer surgery. Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is now widely used in the clinic for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, diverse anesthetic methods, including general anesthesia (GA), epidural anesthesia and local anesthesia (LA), are used for RF ablation surgery. Using serum from HCC surgery patients randomized to receive either GA or LA during surgery, we will investigate the effects of anesthetic methods on cellular invasion, migration and proliferation of HepG2 hepatic cancer cells in vitro. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in the serum from patients of both groups will also be analyzed.
For patients with unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases, preclinical studies have shown that after the resistance of cetuximab, the treatment sensitivity can be restored by stopping cetuximab for a period of time. This is called the cetuximab re-challenge. And the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test is reported a biomarker for the efficacy of cetuximab rechallenge. However, there is still no randomized controlled trial for verification. This study aims at patients after the first-line treatment of cetuximab has progressed. After the second-line non-cetuximab treatment has progressed, the effects of re-application of combined with cetuximab and chemotherapy alone are compared to verify the re-challenge effect.
Liver metastasis may not be detected by CT and MRI due to their small size while they can be detected by EUS. Also, EUS-FNA has a great impact in improving the diagnostic accuracy of EUS. Objectives: To assess the feasibility of EUS in the detection of occult small hepatic focal lesions at the time of primary tumor staging, not seen by CT or MRI.
Open-label, dose escalation, multi-center, Phase I / II study to assess the safety of an autologous T-cell product (ET140203) in adult subjects with Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-positive/Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) A-2-positive advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Observational, feasibility study investigating biological aspects in patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer undergoing treatment with SIRT, by translational analysis of biological samples.
To observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of camrelizumab in advanced liver cancer
PLATON (Platform for Analyzing Targetable Mutations) is a prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study with biobanking. In a first approach PLATON's pilot-study assesses genomic profiling in gastrointestinal cancer therapy and the frequencies of targetable mutations including Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) and Microsatellite Instability Status (MSI), performing Next-generation deep sequencing (NGS) using the Foundation Medicine assays on tumor specimen and EDTA-whole blood samples. The Study Protocol does not define any further medical intervention or evaluate the efficacy or safety of the treatment decision made by the investigator. Another important objective of PLATON's pilot project is to evaluate whether and how many patients are treated based on their genomic profiles.
Liver cancer is the fourth most common malignant tumor in Korea and it is the third most common cause of cancer death worldwide according to the 2009 Korea Central Cancer Registration Annual Report. Excellent survival rate (50-70% 5-year survival rate) can be obtained when surgery is performed including liver transplantation, but most (70-80%) patients with liver cancer are difficult to get surgery due to liver disease associated with cirrhosis. In addition, due to the multi-centric nature of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis, repeated treatment is required. For these reasons, various treatments for liver cancer (percutaneous arterial embolization, percutaneous ethanol injection, radiofrequency heat therapy, and radiation therapy) have been performed. Due to recent advances in radiotherapy technology, proton beam therapy (PBT) is a promising treatment for liver cancer because it maximizes radiation to tumor tissues and reduces radiation doses from surrounding normal tissues due to the distinct physical properties of proton beams. Promising therapeutic results and less toxicity have been reported in liver cancer. In addition, several genes in liver cancer (SOCS-1, GSTP, APC, VEGF, PD-EGF, HIF-1, NOS, b-FGF, LINE-1, p27, TOP2A, Ets-1, Bcl-xL, Osteopontin, CD44, etc.) have been reported to be associated with recurrence and prognosis.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study in patients with selected solid tumors.
This is a a single-arm, prospective study of Camrelizumab combined with ablation and chemotherapy for patients with Pancreatic cancer liver metastasis. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Camrelizumab combined with ablation and chemotherapy as a treatment of Pancreatic cancer liver metastasis.
