Functional Liver After SBRT
In this study, the investigators aim to determine the dose-effect relationship between radiation dose and liver function by performing a hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HEBIS) before and after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients with liver metastases. HEBIS is a nuclear imaging technique to quantitatively assess liver function. It better predicts the …
Streamlining Radioembolization for CCC and Metastatic Liver Cancer
TARE uses radioactive microspheres (20-60 μm), which are trapped in tumors due to abnormal vasculature, while normal liver sinusoids (≤15 μm) prevent their passage. However, some microspheres may drain into hepatic veins and reach the lungs, risking radiation pneumonitis. Pre-procedural evaluation with angiography and nuclear imaging (MAA scan with SPECT/CT) …
TACE Combined Surgery for the Resectable Huge HCC
Huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is defined as a tumor with a maximum diameter greater than 10 cm. With advancements in surgical techniques, hepatectomy can be performed safely in some patients with huge HCC without vascular invasion or distant metastasis and with preserved liver function. The high risk of recurrence after …
Perioperative Energy Expenditure in Major Liver Resection
Rationale: Complication rates after major liver resections remain as high as 43%. Many initiatives have been taken to reduce postoperative morbidity. As such, prehabilitation programmes are increasingly used for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Improvement of aerobic fitness has been proven to reduce complication rates, especially in high-risk patients (those …
An Exosome-Based Liquid Biopsy for the Differential Diagnosis of Primary Liver Cancer
It is sometimes difficult to precisely understand whether a primary liver cancer is a hepatocellular carcinoma or a cholangiocarcinoma. The researchers will develop and validate a liquid biopsy, based on exosomal content analysis and powered by machine learning, to help clinicians differentiate these two cancers before surgery.
Prospective Observational Trial to Evaluate Quality of Life After Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Prospective single arm, single center observational study to evaluate Quality of Life (Qol) after stereotactic body radiotherapy for patients with hepatocellular cancer. Patients will receive work-up, treatment and follow-up exclusively as routinely done except additional quality of life measurements. Qol will be measured by standardized and validated EORTC questionaires at …
Volatile Organic Compounds for the Assessment of Liver Disease
This study aims to determine whether a breath test could be used for early detection of hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients who are attending for a planned liver outpatient services or investigations will be approached to provide a breath sample. Multi platform mass spectrometry analysis will be performed …
Microwave Ablation for Treatment of Small Renal Tumors and Primary and Secondary Liver Neoplasms
The goal of this observational study is to collect data on efficacy and safety of microwave ablation (MWA) used to treat subjects with primary and secondary liver malignancies and renal malignancies. The main question it aims to evaluate the short, medium and long-term clinical course of patients treated with MWA. …
A French Multicenter Observational Retrospective Study of Rare Primary Liver Cancers
The aim of this French multicenter retrospective study is to describ rare primary hepatic cancers clinical, histological and radiological features, to obtain a biological tumor and blood collection, and to evaluate the efficacy of treatments received in clinical practice in order to determine optimal therapeutic sequences. This retrospective cohort will …
Liver Transplantation in Patients With Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases
Multicentric prospective and observational study to assess the 5-year overall survival in a cohort of patients with unresectable liver-only colorectal metastases, well controlled by chemotherapy prior to liver transplantation.
