This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict how well liver cancer patients will respond to a combination of treatments, including a procedure called TACE, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Researchers will analyze medical images and other data fr…

This large French study will follow 1,810 adults receiving their first liver transplant to see if the way the donor liver is removed affects outcomes. The main focus is on avoiding artery and bile duct complications for three years after transplant. The goal is to identify the be…

This study will test whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can help doctors decide between surgery and microwave ablation for people with early-stage liver cancer. The AI will analyze images from contrast-enhanced ultrasound and MRI scans to predict the risk of cancer ret…

This study will follow 1,000 adults who have liver or bile duct surgery at one hospital in Italy. Researchers will track complications, survival, and cancer recurrence for up to 5 years. The goal is to better understand what affects recovery and long-term health after these opera…

This study watches 200 adults with intermediate-stage liver cancer to see which treatments doctors actually use and how long patients survive. It does not test a new drug or procedure. The goal is to learn from real-world care to help guide future treatment decisions.

This study aims to create detailed computer models, or 'virtual twins,' of people with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). By analyzing data from over 7,700 adults, researchers hope to better understand how the disease progresses and predict who migh…

This study looks at whether doing broad gene testing early, instead of later, helps find more effective treatments for people with advanced pancreatic, liver, or triple-negative breast cancer. About 360 adults with poor-prognosis cancers will be randomly assigned to early or stan…

This study looks at whether blood tests can predict how well liver cancer responds to a standard treatment called TACE. Researchers will collect blood samples from 60 adults with liver cancer before and after TACE, then compare the results with CT or MRI scans. The goal is to see…
