Trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most commonly used therapy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TACE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a catheter into the artery in the liver that feeds the tumor, administering chemotherapeutics and then blocking the artery with embolics in order to kill …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) plus Cadonilimab (a PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody) in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (BCLC-C Stage) accompanied by tumor thrombosis-associated portal hypertension.
Recently, the positive results of the Imbrave 150 study (randomized study comparing Atezolizumab+Bevacizumab versus Sorafenib) prompted investigators to redefine their management strategy for advanced HCC by proposing the combination Atezolizumab+ Bevacizumab as first-line treatment in these patients. Identifying new predictive biomarkers of response is essential to optimize the identification of …
The purpose of this study was to prospectively collect clinical data from patients who underwent hepatic artery chemoembolization using microspheres with different degradation times (2 hours, 1 day, 2 weeks) based on standard treatment.
This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Y-90 selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in patients with potentially resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth more common cancer in the world, with high mortality rates, due to the low number of patients who are eligible for therapy with curative intent, like surgical resection. Moreover, surgical resection is associated with a high risk of tumor recurrence, because of the tumor …
The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is poor compared to other carcinomas. Many drugs have recently been developed, and recently, atezolizumab-bevacizumab treatment was superior to sorafenib, the conventional treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. However, there is no information on the evaluation on the evaluation of treatment response for atezolizumab-bevacizumab combination therapy …
It is estimated that over 50% of HCC cases worldwide are related to chronic HBV. There are approximately 350-400 million people across the world infected with HBV, the majority reside in or originate from Asia. Each year HBV accounts for 749,000 new cases of HCC and 692,000 HCC-related deaths. The …
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rising public health concern with few curative options but liver transplantion (LT) in highly selected cases. LT could save many other HCC patients but organ shortage has lead to the necessity of selection of patients with the best survival chances, namely the Milan criteria. Hepatocellular …
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumour and is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In Denmark, the incidence of HCC is 5.2 per 100.000 population per year with a dismal prognosis as the median survival time is just 7.7 month. Extrahepatic spread of HCC …
