Filter by:According to the total population of cancer patients, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), two of gastroenterological cancers are involved in the most acquired five cancers. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of tumor-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, and HCC is one of the top ten cancers in China. Currently, the intervention for gastrointestinal cancers mainly focuses on surgical removal, but patients still have a high risk of recurrence. Thus, the prevention of cancer recurrence is the most crucial topic for the intervention. The pathophysiology of gastroenterological cancers is multifactorial and not yet completely understood. However, immunosuppression is a major contributing factor in tumor cells play a central part in disease progression. It determines the prognosis of patients.
Comparison of biliary complications in right lobe living donor liver transplantation patients undergoing biliary reconstructions using microscope versus surgical loupes .
This study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin plus lenvatinib and Sintilimab for patients hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus.
Hepatocellular cancer is the 6th most common seen disease in the world and the 3rd in cancer-related deaths. Liver transplantation is the primary curative treatment of HCC, as it eliminates liver cancer and underlying cirrhosis. However, liver transplantation is not offered to every HCC patient, since advanced stage HCC patients are lost with tumor recurrence early after liver transplantation. The Milan criteria, which are accepted worldwide, are the patient selection criteria that we have to follow in cadaver-to-liver transplantation for HCC in our country. However, as the Milan criteria are very strict criteria, it pushes patients out of liver transplantation who exceed the Milan criteria but who can benefit from liver transplantation. Liver transplantation centers all over the world have declared their own criteria under the expanded Milan criteria. In our country, Malatya Criteria have been defined by İnönü University on this subject, and our studies on this subject still continue. When we scan the original articles of all these defined criteria, incomplete data are formed and therefore the strength of the criteria cannot be clearly revealed. For this reason, we aimed to analyze the results of our center and present information about the power of the criteria to the literature.
The purpose of CLOVER is to utilize Epic Healthy Planet to increase adherence to United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations in adults age 50 and older.
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.
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.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study in patients with selected solid tumors.
The automatic fusion of the ultrasound with a cone-beam CT volume will guide the positioning of the electrodes, despite the visibility of the tumor in ultrasound, in patients treated with irreversible electroporation in the interventional radiology room at Avicenna Hospital for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The objective is to evaluate the primary success rate of the automatic cone-beam CT fusion procedure and ultrasound, regardless of the tumor's visibility status in ultrasound.
In this retrospective study, the investigators assessed the application of radiofrequency-assisted liver resection in intractable liver cancer resection, and plan to analysis the different factors.
