LIVER TUMOR

This study tests a new augmented reality system called LUMENA that helps doctors guide needles during MRI scans of the liver. Twenty adults having a liver biopsy or tumor ablation will try the device. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well enough to use in most procedure…

This study tests whether an accelerated recovery program can safely shorten hospital stays for 36 adults undergoing minimally invasive liver surgery. Participants must have a tumor suitable for a specific type of liver resection, no cirrhosis, and live within 50 miles of the medi…

This study looks at whether measuring a substance called FMN in the fluid used to preserve donated livers can predict how well the liver will work after transplant. Researchers will collect samples from 850 liver transplant patients at multiple hospitals. The goal is to see if FM…

This study is testing whether a green dye called ICG can help surgeons see tumors more clearly during surgery in children and teens with solid tumors. The dye is injected before surgery and makes tumor tissue glow under a special camera. The goal is to see if this technique helps…

This study looks at two types of surgery for pancreatic and liver tumors: open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. Researchers want to see which one leads to better survival, shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and lower costs. The study will review records of 431 pa…

This study is testing whether smartwatches and blood tests can measure how well children recover after surgery to remove a solid tumor. About 40 children and their caregivers will wear smartwatches and answer questionnaires before surgery and for up to a year after. Researchers w…

This study looks at 100 adults having liver tumor treatment with a special breathing method called jet ventilation. Normally, carbon dioxide is measured in exhaled air, but that doesn't work here. Researchers will compare a skin sensor to a standard blood test to see if they give…
