Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

Netrin-1 is a dependence receptor ligand participating in the pathology of several cancer types. It is up-regulated in chronic liver diseases, cirrhosis and HCC. We hypothesize that netrin-1 may play a detrimental role in HCC. The goal of this project is to characterize netrin-1 signals in HCC samples with ad hoc controls, to investigate the benefit of capturing netrin-1 in preclinical models of HCC and to try to define patients groups the most likely to benefit from this targeting approach in the clinic.

This is an ongoing, longitudinal, single centre, observational, retro-prospective clinical cohort study of patients with HCC in usual clinical practice. All the HCC patients diagnosed and treated in Liver Cancer Center, Nanfang Hospital are consecutively collected and followed up.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of splenectomy coupled with portal-azygous disconnection on hepatocarcinogenesis in patients with post-hepatitic cirrhosis after hepatitis B or C virus infection by retrospective case-control study,We hope to find a new idear and method to prevent or cure HCC.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one the most common malignancies in the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Since 1984, it has been the leading cause of cancer death in Taiwan. About 6000-8000 people died of this cancer every year in Taiwan. DNA microarray (DNA chip) is a very powerful tool to clarify the genetic changes in cancers. Expression profiling techniques have been used to simultaneously monitor the expression of thousands of genes from human tumor samples. It has been successfully used to predict clinical outcome and survival as well as classify different types of cancer. In this study, we will use the DNA chip to study the genetics in liver cancer patients.

Developing a radiomics model to predict the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after microwave ablation to provide advice for their treatment.

This study aims to develop a novel, reliable, liquid biopsy-based biomarker system for relapse of HCC associated with hepatitis B after liver transplantation.

We propose a radiomics approach to identify prognostic biomarkers of HCC and provide patients with some reasonable advice for their therapies.

This study aims to determine whether or not gadoxetate disodium (Eovist) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a higher sensitivity for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (Liver Cancer) comparison to multi-detector computed tomography (CT).

Gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA, Primovist)-enhanced MRI can affect on BCLC staging during the initial staging workups of definite HCC patients with very early or early stage disease, but with no suspicious intrahepatic HCC lesions by liver dynamic CT.

The investigators study the VEGF signaling in HCC cell lines and its mechanism in HCC growth, proliferation and apoptosis.
