This study looks at whether giving a drug called terlipressin continuously during keyhole (laparoscopic) liver surgery can lower the chance of severe complications afterward. Terlipressin helps keep blood pressure stable, which may protect organs during surgery. Researchers will …

This phase 2 trial tested a three-part treatment for people with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver and stopped responding to standard treatments. The approach combines two minimally invasive procedures (TACE and HAIC) with the targeted drug regorafenib. The goal was to s…

This study looked at whether a combination of two pain medicines (hydromorphone and flurbiprofen) could help control pain during and after a liver cancer treatment called TACE. 129 adults with intermediate-to-advanced liver cancer took part. The goal was to see if this approach c…

This completed study looked at 328 patients with intermediate or high-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) who took imatinib after surgery. The goal was to find the best dose that balances effectiveness in preventing tumor return with the risk of side effects. Researchers…

This completed study looked at 169 patients with a type of liver cancer called intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Researchers used MRI scans and machine learning to measure scar tissue and a protein linked to tumor growth. The goal was to see if these features could predict how lon…

This study tested a computer model that helps surgeons decide the best type of surgery for patients with a rare form of liver cancer that has spread into the bile ducts. The model uses patient scans and medical history to recommend whether to remove part of the bile duct or just …

This study looked at 324 adults with intermediate-stage liver cancer to see if CT scan features could predict how well they would respond to a combination treatment of targeted therapy and a procedure that blocks the tumor's blood supply. The goal was to find out if certain scan …

This study analyzed medical images and data from 3000 patients with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers used an AI technique called radiomics to see if they could identify which patients would respond better to one of two standard treatments: TACE…
