An Exploratory Study on Developing an Integrated Approach Combining Multimodal Imaging and Multi-omics Characterization of Tumor Heterogeneity for Precision Diagnosis and Treatment Optimization in Liver Cancer.
Primary liver cancer, mainly including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), represents the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Enhancing the precision of liver cancer diagnosis and providing early therapeutic efficacy and prognostic evaluation during clinical decision-making hold significant clinical importance. Ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality for liver …
Characterizing Disease Biology, Treatment and Toxicity in Older Adults With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
This is an observational, prospective cohort study that will recruit a diverse sample of 84 participants with newly diagnosed with unresectable, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at the UT Health Cancer Center in San Antonio. This study uses geriatric assessment tools with participants 65 years and older and collects adverse events …
EUS Elastography for Predicting Cirrhotic-related Complications
Evaluation of the tissue stiffness as a surrogate marker of degree of liver cirrhosis has gained popularity in recent decades. Current guidelines also advocate the use of Fibroscan® machine (EchoSens, Paris, France) to detect any advanced liver fibrosis as represented by high liver stiffness, for prediction of varices development. Apart …
Pathogenic Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing to Optimize the Diagnosis of Decompensated Cirrhosis Infection
The goal of this observational study is to learn about clinical application of pathogenic metagenomic next-generation sequencing to optimize the diagnosis of infection in decompensated cirrhotic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: mNGS testing in optimizing anti-infective drug use in patients with acute decompensation, including response to …
Nutritional Assesment in Patients With Cirrhosis
This study aims to evaluated nutritional status in patiets with cirrhosis
Utility of ROTEM® for Risk Stratification of Post-Invasive Procedure Hemorrhage in Patients With Cirrhosis (CIR-ROTEM)
The assessment of post-procedural bleeding risk in cirrhosis remains a clinical challenge due to the lack of precise predictive tools and its high associated mortality. Although guidelines recommend a restrictive transfusion policy, adherence remains low, with a high rate of prophylactic transfusions despite unclear benefits. This multicenter, prospective, and observational …
Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Conversion Therapy in Patients With Initially Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy in patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC).
Evaluation of Resection Techniques for Pancreatic Tumors
The objective of this study is to compare open and minimally invasive pancreatic and liver resection techniques and analyze the different outcome variables from the clinical standpoint. The plan is to investigate patient survival, length of stay, complication rates, operative time, transfusion rate, 30 and 90-day readmission rate, and hospital …
Mechanisms of Malnutrition in Cirrhosis With Portosystemic Shunting
Cirrhosis is characterized by loss of muscle as well as fat mass, which increases morbidity and mortality before, during, and after liver transplantation. A common mechanism for the reduced muscle and fat mass in cirrhosis is an increased expression of the TGF (transforming growth factor)beta superfamily member, myostatin, in the …
3D-MRE and 2D-MRE for Assessing Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. We plan to compare the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to two demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (2D-MRE) …
