Data tool guides surgeons to better liver cancer outcomes
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a computer model designed to help surgeons make better decisions for patients with a complex type of liver cancer that has spread into the bile duct. The model analyzed patient scans and health data to predict who would live longer if surgeons removed the bile d…

Three-Pronged attack tested for Tough-to-Treat liver tumors
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a combination of three treatments for people with colorectal cancer that had spread to the liver and was no longer responding to standard chemotherapy. The goal was to see if using a targeted drug (regorafenib) along with two minimally invasive procedures that d…

AI scans liver cancer to predict patient survival
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at whether doctors could use MRI scans and artificial intelligence (AI) to predict how patients with a specific type of liver cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) would fare after surgery. Researchers analyzed MRI scans from 169 patients to see if certain fe…

AI scans could predict best liver cancer treatment
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked back at medical records and scans from 3,000 patients with advanced liver cancer who could not have surgery. Researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze their pre-treatment scans, trying to find patterns that predict whether a patient would live lon…
