Active clinical trials for "Liver Neoplasms"

Before liver transection patients are allocated to either waterjet or CUSA to divide the liver parenchyma.

To evaluate local tumor control and survival rate after repeated transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) using three different protocols in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

To evaluate the survival benefit of pre-operation chemotherapy of primary tumor tesection (PTR) compared upfront PTR for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with an asymptomatic resectable primary tumor and synchronous unresectable liver-limited metastases with conversion therapy intent.

This is a pilot study to investigate the performance of MR-guided Laser Induced Thermal Therapy (LITT) in the treatment of liver tumors.

Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan and bevacizumab as perioperative strategy of borderline and/or high risk resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases

The purpose of this study is to learn the best method of assigning patients to receive "acute normovolemic hemodilution" during liver surgery.

An innovative therapeutic strategy to increase the complete resection rate is of utmost importance in order to enhance survival in colorectal cancer patients with unresectable liver-only metastasis. Therefore, the investigators propose a prospective study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using FOLFOX6 plus cetuximab to convert initially unresectable liver metastasis to potentially resectable disease.

Fewer than 15% of hepatoma patients are suitable candidates for surgical removal of their cancer. The purpose of this protocol is to provide supervised access at Oregon Health and Science University to Y-90 treatment to provide these patients access to an alternate therapy. The radioactive beads are placed directly near or into the liver tumor with the intention of destroying the tumor cells.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation happens after liver resection for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, particularly for those with positive serum HBV-DNA . The incidence rate and risk factors of HBV reactivation after hepatectomy for serum HBV-DNA negative HBV-related HCC are unclear.

A pre- and postablation scan will be made intraprocedurally to investigate the feasibility of intraprocedural ablation verification assessment using coregistration software
