3D MRI scan may predict liver cancer treatment success
NCT ID NCT07716345
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether a specialized MRI scan called three-dimensional magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) can predict how well patients with initially unresectable liver cancer will respond to conversion therapy. The scan measures the stiffness and other physical properties of tumors, which may vary between patients and correlate with treatment outcomes. Researchers will enroll 100 adults with liver cancer who are scheduled for conversion therapy and compare their baseline scan results with their actual response to treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Three-Dimensional Magnetic Resonance Elastography (3D-MRE) scan
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a way to identify which patients with initially unresectable liver cancer are most likely to benefit from conversion therapy, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The scan's ability to predict response needs to be confirmed in larger trials.
