Filter by:This is opinion based, experiential research and is NOT a drug trial.
This is a single-arm, open-label phase II trial. Eligible patients must have histological or clinical diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), advanced tumors that are not amenable to loco-regional therapy, documented progression with or intolerance to sorafenib-based treatment or other anti-angiogenic therapy as first-line therapy for advanced HCC.
1. To determine whether a combined nutritional support program and exercise-based prehabilitation is superior to nutritional support alone in increasing functional recovery and reducing post-operative morbidity after surgery for HPB malignancy. 2. To understand which measures of immediate surgical recovery are sensitive to prehabilitation interventions and predict change in later outcome measures.
This randomized, controlled, multicenter, non-comparative phase II trial compares an intensified perioperative treatment of patients with resectable synchronous or metachronous colorectal liver metastases to primary surgery and adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.
This study is designed for patients diagnosed with Liver cancer to collect information about the relationship between types of liver cancer, methods of treatment and outcomes over time.
The purpose of this study is to determine a tolerable dose of radiation delivered by the CyberKnife system in two groups of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS) during surgery for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) has become a part of clinical practice. However, if it should be selectively or routinely applied remains unclear. This study is carried out to clarify which are the criteria for a selective use of CE-IOUS if any.
This pilot clinical trial studies the safety and effectiveness of continuous hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of floxuridine (FUDR) alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs in treating patients with locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. HAI is a method to deliver higher concentrations of FUDR more directly to liver tumors and reduces side effects. HAI alone or in combination with oxaliplatin and/or gemcitabine may significantly improve clinical outcomes of patients with locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma.
Each year in the UK around 1500 patients undergo surgery for bowel cancer that has spread to the liver. This is major surgery that offers a chance of cure, but can be associated with complications. Fitter patients are less likely to have serious complications. We are interested in finding out whether a short exercise program can improve patient fitness before surgery and whether this can reduce surgical complications. We plan to measure the fitness of patients who are going to have liver surgery. We will then give them an exercise programme for 4 weeks, after which we will assess their fitness again. We are also interested in whether fitter people have better Liver function. To assess this we will take a small sample of liver tissue during the operation for laboratory analysis of its function. Hypothesis 1. A short period of exercise can significantly improve fitness prior to liver surgery 2. Greater Fitness is associated with better liver function.
This is a Phase II trial to characterize the safety and efficacy of individualized stereotactic body radiation therapy (SRBT) for patients who have had previous liver treatment or who have primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
