Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

This phase II trial studies how well perflutren protein-type A microspheres and contrast-enhanced ultrasound work in improving response to radioembolization therapy in patients with liver cancer. Ultrasound contrast agents, such as perflutren protein-type A microspheres, use gas microbubbles to improve image quality. Using contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging will "pop" these microbubbles and cause tumors to become more sensitive to radiation therapies.

Randomized study of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) versus transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma treated by laparotomy or laparoscopic Multicenter prospective, open, superiority, controlled, randomized, clinical trial The primary objective of the study will be to demonstrate the superiority of the laparoscopic approach over the open approach in reducing postoperative morbidity in HCC patients. Postoperative morbidity will be assessed using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) within 90 days postoperatively or at any time during hospitalization

Guanabana, known also as Graviola or Annona muricata is a tropical fruit which has been commonly used as complimentary/alternative medicine in Latin American countries. The main compounds in Graviola are the annonaceous acetogenins. These acetogenins have been shown to be selective and toxic against various types of cancer cells in-vitro and in-vivo experimental animal models. In spite of this evidence of anti tumor activity of Graviola, no prospective clinical studies have been carried out to determine if it also has clinical activity.The Investigator have observed two patients at Auxilio Mutuo Cancer Center who experienced significant tumor shrinkage while taking a tea made of Graviola leaves. Neither of these patients were taking any other treatment for their cancer. The investigator propose to conduct a study using guanabana leaves extract in patients with Gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) adenocarcinoma, as well as in Gastric adenocarcinoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Low Grade Lymphomas and Colorectal adenocarcinoma.

To evaluate local tumor progression rate at 12 months after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation with gradual radiofrequency energy delivery mode with Octopus electrodes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

To investigate the clinical application of ultrasound-guided continuous low serratus anterior plane block in open surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma.

This study compares gadolinium contrast-enhanced Abbreviated MRI (AMRI) to standard ultrasound for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) screening and surveillance in subjects with liver cirrhosis.

The aim of this study is to make up for this gap by performing a dynamic scan of 18F-FDG PET/CT on newly diagnosed patients with liver cancer. The lesions and/or metastases are performed for biopsy. Pathological and genomic studies are performed. The differences between tumor images and tissues are compared at the same time. 18F-FDG PET/CT dynamic imaging is explored in primary liver cancer metastases for the diagnostic value.

We adopted the prospective cohort study to compare the safety and efficacy of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) + Lenvatinib + Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-1) Antibody in the treatment of advanced unresectable liver cancer.The purposes of our study include：1. Primary objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of TACE combined with Lenvatinib and PD-1 antibody versus TACE alone in the conversion-resection of patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.2. Secondary objective: To compare the long-term outcome of TACE combined with Lenvatinib and PD-1 antibody versus TACE alone for patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

This is a phase 2 open-labeled study to compare the Ga68-Dolacga positron emission tomography with computer tomography volumetry and indocyanine green retention test for measurement of liver reserve among scheduled surgery operation patients.
