This is a phase 2 study that will assess the investigational drug, cabozantinib, in patients with liver cancer (specifically hepatocellular carcinoma) and who had received a liver transplant as a part of curative care, but the cancer has come back (recurred). The purpose of this study is to see how …
Liver transplantation (LT) is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage liver disease (1). LT is often associated with severe intraoperative blood loss and the literature has had a great interest in clarifying the predictive factors for transfusion requirements during this surgery. Despite the advances in surgical techniques, graft …
This study was designed to demonstrate incidence of biliary complication rates after living donor liver transplantation according to the implantation of external biliary drainage throug duct-to-duct anastomosis site.
Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are the most common complications after major upper abdominal surgery. PPCs include respiratory infections, severe atelectasis, pleural effusion, bronchospasm, aspiration pneumonitis, pneumothorax, exacerbation of chronic pulmonary condition, and respiratory failure. Although PPC rates are higher after open liver surgery, PPCs still occur in approximately 12-13% …
The aim of this randomized trial is to determine whether liver fat depletion via a short-term (i.e., two weeks) very-low calorie diet will restore the normal exercise-induced secretion of a signaling protein (fibroblast growth factor 21) from the liver in people living with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have their …
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) …
phenylketonuria (commonly known as PKU) is an inherited disorder that increases the levels of a substance called phenylalanine in the blood. PKU is usually associated with many metabolic complication including non-alcoholic fatty liver
The purpose of this study is to see if adding Low-Dose Liver Radiation (LD-LRT) improves progression free survival (PFS). This study is for patients with either melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with liver metastases, and receiving immunotherapy.
Trans arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has emerged as a treatment option for chemotherapy-refractory diseases in Liver metastases. By delivering chemotherapy agents directly to the tumor site, TACE can maximize local drug concentrations and reduce systemic adverse reactions. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that functions as an angiogenesis inhibitor. It works by …
