A Prospective Colorectal Liver Metastasis Database With an Integrated Quality Assurance Program...

Liver MetastasisColorectal Carcinoma

This prospective database has two main objectives; to evaluate the complication rates, 30-day and 90-day mortality from different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline resectable or initially unresectable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. to establish baseline quality parameters for different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline and initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients.

Fibroscan Predicts Complications After Hepatectomy

Liver Neoplasms

Most of the postoperative complications that may occur after hepatectomy are related to the underlying liver background, and the common preoperative tests do not completely predict such complications. Transient elastography by Fibroscan is used to calculate the stiffness and the steatosis of the liver, and it may be also used to predict postoperative complications after hepatectomy

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Solely For Liver Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Primary Liver CancerMetastatic Liver Cancer From Any Cancer Site

This study is a research and development initiative established to explore the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool for managing organ motion of the liver in cancer patients planning procedures for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

Imaging Response to Immunotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Patients With Liver Metastases

Liver Metastases

Patients will be imaged with MRE at the time of the RT planning MRI, prior to the induction of RT and immunotherapy. Research imaging will be in addition to standard imaging studies performed at time points consistent with the standard of care (at the time of the RT planning MRI and the first clinical follow-up). An additional MRE exam will be performed at the end of treatment outside the standard of care imaging.

Evaluation of a Minimally Invasive Image-Guided Surgery System for Hepatic Ablation Procedures

Liver Cancer

This study was designed in two phases: Phase I is designed to confirm that the surgeon is able to perform accurate liver surface registration including standard liver features used as landmarks during a scheduled laparoscopic liver ablation procedure and acquires a level of comfort with the procedure. The surface of the liver will be manually swabbed with the study tracked laparoscopic probe with landmarks noted during data collection. After registration of the liver is obtained, the registration points obtained during this procedure will be evaluated by the surgeon by moving the tracked laparoscopic probe over the liver surface and evaluating the location of the tracked laparoscopic probe displayed on the guidance system three dimensional (3D) image. The surgeon will accept or reject the registration accuracy. The hypothesis is that the surgeon will be able to successfully acquire liver surface registrations with a small learning curve for technique and will be able to proceed to Phase II of the study. Phase II contains the registration process included above but adds the additional process of tracking the ablation probe used to perform tumor ablation by attaching the Pathfinder Multi-Tool adaptor and collecting data showing the location of the ablation probe as tracked and displayed on the Pathfinder three dimensional (3D) image. The surgeon will use ultrasound (US) guidance to locate tumor location during the laparoscopic procedure. The images collected during this process will be recorded by Pathfinder.

Computertomography-guided Wire Marking of the Liver

Secondary Malignant Neoplasm of Liver

The aim of the study is to evaluate if it is possible to mark with a wire colorectal hepatic metastases after complete response to a neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Primary the investigators want to investigate if the wire marking is a possibility to mark respectively to identify these lesions. Further the investigators want to evaluate how many patients with complete radiologic have complete histologic response in their specimen respectively in how many specimens in the definitive histology tumor cells are visible.

Genetic Susceptibility to Oncogenic Viruses

Liver NeoplasmsHIV Infections

An NCI goal is to identify every human gene that predisposes people to cancer. Recent studies of HIV-1 indicate that genetic polymorphisms can affect susceptibility to viral infections and that such alleles may be racially restricted, a range of racial and ethnic groups should be included in such studies. We propose to examine genetic determinants of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in an ethnically diverse population of injection drug users (IDUs). HBV and HCV are important causes of hepatocellular carcinoma, but little is known about genetic factors that alter susceptibility to these infections. Subjects will be recruited in diverse inner-city neighborhoods as part of the University of California, San Francisco's Urban Health Study. Since 1986, this study has successfully recruited and evaluated IDUs from street-based settings. About half of the participants are African-American, one-third are white, 10% are Latino, and the remainder are Asian or Native American. The mean duration of drug use exceeds 20 years. About 80% of subjects have evidence of HBV infection and a similar prevalence of HCV infections is anticipated. We will enroll about 1500 subjects over a 13 month period. Archived, unlinked serum specimens may be obtained from previous enrollees to increase the sample size, as needed. Highly exposed-uninfected subjects will be ascertained on the basis of the serologic testing for each virus, as well as the duration and frequency of injection drug use. These highly exposed-uninfected subjects will be compared to infected subjects with regard to their frequency of genetic polymorphisms (chemokines, chemokine receptors, human leukocyte antigens, and others), in collaboration with scientists from NCI's Laboratory of Genomic Diversity.

Impact of Microparticles on Postoperative Complications in Surgical Patients

NeoplasmHepatic2 more

Microparticles are cellular fragments which are released actively or passively under conditions of inflammation and stress. The impact of surgical operations on quantity and quality of microparticles remains unknown. In this observatory study we investigate quantitative and qualitative aspects of microparticles during cardiac and abdominal operations.

Chemotherapy and Tumor Clearance in Hepatic Resections for Colorectal Liver Metastases.

Colorectal Cancer MetastaticLiver Metastases

Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database of 170 patients between 2004 and 2020, who underwent liver resections for CRLM (colorectal liver metastases) at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital trying to determine rates and patterns of recurrence following liver resections for CRLM and concurrently, characterise clinical, pathological and treatment-related factors that could function as predictors of recurrence or survival, particularly neoadjuvant chemotherapy and tumour clearance.
