Filter by:The current guidelines on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) aimed to build effective prognostic stratification strategies to guide therapeutic allocation; however, the current guidelines did not consider the simultaneous comparison of distinct therapies in similar populations. Here, the investigators aimed to develop and validate a new, integrated prognostic scheme for HCC patients using artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate the survival outcomes of patients allocated to different treatments.
HCC resection candidates with inadequate future liver remnant will be enrolled in this study. They will be treated with Y90 radioembolization to help grow the liver enough to undergo liver resection. There will be 2 Patient Groups. The first group of patients will be treated with Y90 dose and embolic load as per standard-of-care. The second group of patients will be treated with the optimal Y90 dose and embolic load found in Patient Group 1.
The diagnosis of cutaneous lesions often involves the use of surgical and invasive procedures such as biopsy or excision in order to analyze the structure and appearance of the fabric pathologists. With recent advances in optical and electronic fields, considerable efforts were produced to build high-performance optical instruments, able to transcribe the internal structure of the skin with varying degrees of depth and variable resolution. The imagery is now an area of great interest for medical diagnosis: non-invasive, quick, and in real time. This area is booming and new optical instruments are created to eventually be able to offer a reliable alternative to invasive techniques. The optical properties of different tissues have been studied for several years by different research groups: the coefficient of light absorption by the tissue both in vivo and in vitro, the coefficient of light scattering or the index refractive were characterized in various tissues that make up the skin. Other studies have focused on melanoma detection by multispectral optical techniques, or via the technique of optical coherence tomography (OCT) performed on lesions suspicious for cancer, but without linking criteria between these two techniques. However, no study to date and to our knowledge has been able to demonstrate the different optical parameters obtained with OCT and can be directly connected to known and histopathological parameters commonly used in the diagnosis of lesions skin. This study aims to verify if it is possible to determine the parameters measured in OCT that would discriminate between benign and malignant lesions.
TERAVECT is a phase III randomized study of patients with digestive neuroendocrine tumors after complete surgical resection of liver metastases treated with In111-Pentetreotide-based adjuvant radiotherapy. In this study, targeted radionuclide therapy is used at an earlier stage of the disease.The objective is to target residual tumor cells and/or micrometastases which escaped surgical resection. Given the poor prognosis associated with recurrence, this treatment should prevent relapse.
