The SELINA study will recruit 200 patients with cirrhosis and small HCC and 50 patients with HCC but without cirrhosis (most of whom are expected to have FLD). Blood, urine and liver tissue samples (where available) will be collected for laboratory analysis. In a subgroup of patients (N=80, around 64 …
This study will see whether collecting and analyzing needle biopsy samples from cancer liver metastases after a tumor ablation procedure will be able to identify cancer cells that are still alive. The results of these biopsies could help determine the next treatment for your cancer, but the biopsies could cause …
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Sweden with an incidence of 8000 per year. The role of surgery for distant breast cancer metastasis beyond local lymph nodes remains controversial even though some reports suggest there might be a survival benefit from resection of oligometastases in the liver. …
Biliary complications after liver transplantation (LT) remain common and are associated with higher morbidity in liver transplant recipients and liver graft failure. Anastomotic biliary strictures are the most common biliary strictures after LT. Today, the gold standard for treatment remains endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with either multiple plastic stenting (MPS) …
Colorectal cancer is the first leading cause of cancer death in men and second in women. Its incidence rates also increased by 1%-2% annually in young adults (ages \<55 years). The liver is the most common site of colorectal cancer metastasis, with approximately 25% 50% of patients developing liver metastases …
This multicenter, ambispective cohort study evaluates the safety and efficacy of trans-arterial Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence-guided laparoscopic liver watershed resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The study aims to compare the outcomes of the trans-arterial ICG staining approach versus the conventional trans-portal (portal vein) ICG staining approach.
This is single-arm, observational, academic, investigator-driven study investigating the efficacy of liver transplantation after successful and sustained downstaging/tumor control of liver-limited unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The downstaging protocol includes chemotherapy +/- immunotherapy and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with Yttrium-90 in various combinations.
The increasing emergence and spread of MDRB represents a major public health problem, with higher mortality in patients experiencing infections. Cirrhotic patients listed for OLT and after OLT are at high risk of MDRB colonization or infection due to the large use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in the post-transplant setting. Therefore, …
This study investigates the impact of surgical resection compared to palliative care in patients with oligometastatic pancreatic cancer limited to the liver. Specifically, it examines whether surgery after stable disease or response to chemotherapy can improve survival and quality of life. The international, multicenter randomized trial will recruit 56 patients, …
The project aims to collect blood, tissue samples, and clinical data from patients with primary liver cancer (mainly hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) undergoing systemic therapy, surgical resection, or liver biopsy. Primary liver cancer is a growing global health challenge, with over one million cases expected by 2025 and a …
