Filter by:Liposomal bupivacaine is a novel long-acting local anesthetic approved by the FDA for postoperative analgesia because of its ability to significantly prolong the analgesic effect for up to 72 hours. Up to now, no study has demonstrated the effect of postoperative analgesia with liposomal bupivacaine by thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine for pain management and recovery after liver resection. Methods: 96 patients were involved in this randomized, prospective, single-blind study. Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were undergoing liver resection were divided into two groups: liposome bupivacaine group (liposomal bupivacaine 133mg) and standard bupivacaine combined with dexamethasone group (standard bupivacaine 150mg and dexamethasone 5mg). Both groups were applied ultrasound guided TPVB. The primary outcome was the cumulative opioid consumptionfor 72 hours. Secodary outcomes included QoR-40 at 72 hours, pain visual analog scale (VAS) score area under the curve (AUC) from 6 hours to 3 months, sleep quality at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. Adverse events and serious adverse events 3 months after TPVB were also recorded.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of quantitative MR imaging and blood-based biomarkers to measure liver function in patients receiving radiation therapy for liver cancer or cancer that has spread to the liver.
The investigators long-term goal is to identify molecular and immunological signatures that can be used as biomarkers to accurately predict early recurrence and inform immunotherapeutic strategies in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. As an initial step toward this long-term investigation, represented by this proposal, the investigators aim to comprehensively and globally describe the patterns of autoantibody expressions, the possible role in disease outcomes, and the relationship between these autoantibodies to tumor-specific/tumor-associated antigens by histologic examination as well as to peripheral immune characteristics in HCC patients with or without recurrence after surgery.
The goal of this prospective observational cohort study is to validate previously developed Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) risk prediction algorithms, the Liver Risk Computation (LIRIC) models, which are based on electronic health records. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will our retrospectively developed general population LIRIC models, developed on routine EHR data, perform similarly when prospectively validated, and reliably and accurately predict HCC in real-time? - What is the average time from model deployment and risk prediction, to the date of HCC development and what is the stage of HCC at diagnosis? The risk model will be deployed on data from individuals eligible for the study. Each individual will be assigned a risk score and tracked over time to assess the model's discriminatory performance and calibration.
The researchers are doing this study to see if one session of high-dose contrast-enhanced MRI-guided SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) is effective for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The researchers will evaluate how well the study treatment can prevent the liver metastasis from growing and spreading. In addition, they will see whether it causes any side effects and whether there are any characteristics of the research MRI images that can predict response to treatment.
This study is a randomized controlled phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and immunotherapy with postoperative chemotherapy in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) patients with high risk of locally recurrence. Researchers will compare the combination therapy with the postoperative chemotherapy alone to see if postoperative chemotherapy plus SBRT and immunotherapy can further reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis after surgery.
Objective: the pre-hospital management of cancers is little known in General Medicine. The first lockdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of health facilities. Investigators were interested in the diagnosis and care pathway of digestive cancers in post-confinement in General Medicine in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Single-arm, open-label, interventional study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) infusion followed by IL-2 after a non-myeloablative(NMA) lymphodepletion preparative regimen for the treatment of patients with advanced liver cancer.
The National Liver Cancer Screening Trial is an adaptive randomized phase IV Trial comparing ultrasound-based versus biomarker-based screening in 5500 patients with cirrhosis from any etiology or patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to Arm A using semi-annual ultrasound and AFP-based screening or Arm B using semi-annual screening using GALAD alone. Randomization will be stratified by sex, enrolling site, Child Pugh class (A vs. B), and HCC etiology (viral vs. non-viral). Patients will be recruited from 15 sites (mix of tertiary care and large community health systems) over a 3-year period, and the primary endpoint of the phase IV trial, reduction in late-stage HCC, will be assessed after 5.5 years.
Liver metastasis is the main reason that affects the survival rates of patients with colorectal cancer (CRLM), and is also the main cause of death of those patients. Especially after the failure of first-line or second-line system treatment, the prognosis of those patients is extremely poor, with the median OS of only 3.5 months. Even in combination with molecular targeted drugs such as cetuximab or bevacizumab, the median tumor-free survival period is only 4.8-6.8 months, and OS is only 11-15 months. When they have disease progression, treatment is currently a difficult clinical problem. Regofinib is a new targeted drug for the third-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer in recent years. However, in the prospective multicenter clinical study, compared with the placebo group, the extended OS is only 1.4 months, which is not so satisfactory. How to improve the survival of these advanced patients with drug resistance is an important clinical problem to be solved urgently. Minimally invasive local treatment may be a promising way to solve this problem. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) are currently the most widely used methods in clinical practice. In theory, TACE combined with HAIC can control small metastasis and embolic residual lesions. The combination of TACE and HAIC can improve the curative effect. Whether the combination of TACE, HAIC and Regofinib can be expected to achieve the effect of 1+1+1>3 in CRLM patients who have failed the previous second-line chemotherapy remains unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the safety and clinical efficacy of irinotecan-loaded drug-eluting beads-TACE (DEBIRI-TACE) combined with HAIC and Regofinib in the treatment of patients with CRLM who failed standard treatment regimens.
