Postoperative Stress Response in Patients Following Fast Track vs Conventional Protocol After Hepatectomy...

Hepatic CancerCancer of Pancreas

A prospective randomized clinical study, with cross-sectional comparisons and correlations was conducted from May 2012 to July 2015 with a sample of 231 patients who have undergone hepatectomy or pancreatectomy, randomized into 2 groups. In group A was applied postoperatively the protocol Fast-track, while in group B the conventional postoperative care. Demographic and clinical data were collected. In 170 patients, Neuropeptide Y (NPY), Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)/Cortisol plasma levels were measured by ELISA method: a) at the day of patient's admission, b) the operation day, c) the 3rd postoperative day or prior to discharge.

Effectivity and Safety of Ultrasound-guided Percutaneously Radiofrequency Ablation for Liver Cancer...

Liver Cancer

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasonography (US) -guided radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors, the investigators used preoperative and postoperative US/CEUS(contrast-enhanced ultrasonography)/CT/MRI to assess lesions, and laboratory tests including the tumor markers to evaluate the general condition of patients. Intraoperative US/CEUS/CT would be applied to monitor ablation lesions.

First-in-Human Safety, Tolerability and Antitumour Activity Study of MTL-CEBPA in Patients With...

Hepatocellular CarcinomaLiver Cancer

MNA-3521-011 study is a multi-centre, open-label, first-in-human, phase 1a/b clinical study dose/dose frequency escalation followed by a cohort expansion part. MTL-CEBPA is administered as monotherapy or in combination with sorafenib to patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis of the liver. All participants will be considered unsuitable for liver tumour resection and/or is refractory to radiotherapy and other loco-regional therapies. MTL-CEBPA consists of a double stranded RNA formulated into a SMARTICLES® liposomal nanoparticle and is designed to activate the CEBPA gene.

Evaluation of Cytokine-induced Killer (CIK) Cells as Therapy or Adjuvant Treatment for Advanced...

Liver Cancer

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignancy in the world and the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths complicating liver cirrhosis in most cases. In Egypt, there has been a remarkable increase of the proportion of HCC among CLD patients from 4.0% to 7.2% over a decade. This rising proportion may be explained by the increasing risk factors such as the emergence of HCV over the same period of time, the contribution of HBV infection, improvement of the screening programs and diagnostic tools of HCC as well as the increased survival rate among patients with cirrhosis to allow time for some of them to develop HCC. The only curative treatment modalities for HCC are surgery, local ablation, and liver transplantation which have high recurrence rate either due to viral hepatitis infection or cirrhosis leading to low success rate and high economic burden. Unfortunately, the majority of patients have unresectable disease at diagnosis. So, patients search for palliative very expensive therapies including chemotherapy and radiotherapy which often fail to eradicate tumor lesions completely and tend to result in many adverse events.Thus, novel approaches for treatment options are needed for patients with advanced HCC . In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as an efficacious treatment modality with encouraging efficacy and slight adverse events in cancer therapy [Stroncek 2010]. Cytokine-induced killer CIK cells therapy has been evaluated as an adoptive cell immunotherapy for cancer patients in a number of clinical trials and the promising efficacy of CIK cells on malignancies has been proved.

Proton Beam Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis

Liver NeoplasmPortal Vein Tumor Thrombosis1 more

The standard treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sorafenib. Though the agent showed clear survival benefit in two randomized phase III trials, the benefit was modest and response rate was just a few percent. Therefore, other loco-regional modalities, like trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), and radiotherapy (RT) were continuously tried, especially in locally advanced HCC including portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). With the advancement of conformal RT techniques, RT was actively applied in HCC, especially in PVTT combined HCC. Many researchers reported that there is a relationship between RT dose and tumor response rate. RT dose, however, is frequently limited because the complications (like radiation induced liver disease (RILD), radiation induced gastro-duodenal toxicity, etc.) are also closely related with higher exposed RT dose. Proton beam has characteristic depth-dose distribution contrast to photon, the "Bragg peak". The advantage of this dose distribution could be more highlighted in HCC management, because of the weakness and maintenance importance of liver function itself in HCC patients. In fact, the superior results of proton beam therapy in HCC were constantly reported in several groups as prospectively as well as retrospectively. In those background, the investigators planned the present study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of proton beam therapy in HCC patients combined with PVTT.

4D Phase Contrast MR: Hypertrophy in Liver Cancer

Liver CancerCancer of the Liver

The investigators hypothesize that 4Dimensional Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Angiography (4D PC MRA) evaluation of portal venous flow predicts underlying liver function and hypertrophic potential in patients with liver cancer presenting for portal vein embolization (PVE). 4D PC MRA may provide a non-invasive measure of liver function that could help determine which patients could safely and successfully undergo PVE and subsequent resection of tumor. By comparing 4D PC MRA results with invasive catheter measurements the investigators will validate the flow findings. Further regression/correlation analysis with functional measures of the liver (HIDA scans), volumetrics, Doppler flow analysis, histology, and outcomes will help the investigators to determine the ability of 4D PC MRA to predict functional status and hypertrophic potential of the liver prior to PVE and hepatectomy allowing for better patient selection and reduced morbidity/mortality.
