Filter by:Intro: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 6th leading cause of cancer worldwide. In France, more than 10,000 new cases are identified each year. The latter occur in 85% of cases in cirrhosis, the most frequent causes of which are excessive alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome or HBV/HCV infection. Patients with cirrhosis justify being included in monitoring programs involving the performance of a semi-annual liver ultrasound (US) in order to detect HCC eligible for curative treatment (liver resection or percutaneous ablation). This practice is considered to be cost-effective in the event of an annual incidence of HCC> 1.5%. US in this context has a low sensitivity for the detection of HCC at the very early stage and the following observations have been made in the last 20 years: - The rate of patients detected at early stage BCLC 0 is around 30% by ultrasound - The rate of patients included in surveillance programs detected with advanced HCC eligible for palliative treatment is around 20% - Reducing the periodicity of liver ultrasounds from 6 to 3 months does not improve these results. In parallel, liver MRI has been evaluated as a tool for the early detection of HCC. Its performance for the detection of HCC at the very early stage exceeds 80%. However, due to the higher cost compared to US, it was estimated that its use in screening context would only be cost effective in the event of an annual incidence> 3%. In addition, the practice of these expensive and long-lasting MRIs (30 to 45 minutes) can be optimized by carrying out abbreviated MRI protocols" or Fast-MRI: short protocols (<10 minutes), based on the sequences with the better detection sensitivities (Se> 83%). The hypothesis is that Fast-MRI used as a screening examination in patients at high risk of HCC (> 3% per year) could increase the rates of patients detected at an early stage accessible to curative treatment and demonstrate its cost-effectiveness in this population. Hypothesis/Objective: The main objective is to assess the cost / QALY and / patient detected with an early HCC BCLC 0 (single tumor <2cm) by semi-annual monitoring by liver US and Fast-MRI, compared to conventional semi-annual monitoring by liver US alone in patients with cirrhosis and an anticipated HCC incidence>3%. Conclusion: If positive, this trial could modify international practice guidelines and set MRI as the optimal tool for early HCC detection in high-risk patients.
The purpose of this research is to compare the amount and quality of tissue obtained by EUS-FNB when the device is flushed with an anticoagulant or "blood thinner" vs. saline a salt water solution as well as the use of a microsieve in order for the doctor to look at the tissue to check the acceptability of the specimens before sending for analysis. You will be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to have either the blood thinner or the salt water solution placed within the needle being used to sample your abdominal tumor and to have either a sieve used or not. You will be one of 42 participants enrolled in this data collection study which includes 1 sites in the United States.
This is an open-label，multi-center ，non-randomized ，single arm exploratory study . This clinical study is an investigator-initiated clinical trial（IIT ）. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the addition of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and Donafenib after curative resection for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with a solitary tumor≥5 cm and microvascular invasion （MVI） will prevent or delay the recurrence of the disease.
Trans arterial chemoembolization using Irinotecan Drug-eluting Beads before liver surgery for patients with primarily unresectable colorectal liver metastasis
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
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.
There has been an increase in the need for repeat hepatic surgery, especially for patients with colorectal liver metastasis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Adhesions at the time of repeat surgery can lead to increased operative times, higher blood loss and even increased perioperative morbidity. Not much data exists regarding use of anti-adhesion barriers at the time of index hepatectomy and their effect on adhesions at repeat hepatectomy. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a hyaluronan and cellulose based antiadhesive topical film at index hepatectomy in reducing perihepatic adhesions at the time of repeat hepatic surgery.
This is an open-label, single-arm clinical study to preliminarily observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin synchronous combined with Bevacizumab and Toripalimab as the first-line therapy for advanced HCC.
Sonazoid as a new generation of ultrasound contrast agent.This study based on the features of Sonazoid specific angiography and his mechanical index, the role of Sonazoidin in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant focal liver lesions in different liver background was explored
