LIVER NEOPLASMS

This study tested an improved heat-based treatment (radiofrequency ablation) for liver cancer that came back after a standard procedure. 100 adults with one to three small tumors received the treatment using special twin electrodes. The goal was to see how well the new method con…

This study looked at 65 adults with liver or pancreatic tumors who received a type of focused radiation called SBRT. The goal was to track how safe and effective the treatment was, and to improve the process. No new treatment was tested; instead, researchers observed standard car…

This study tested two experimental methods (a laser and a plastic block) to help doctors choose the correct needle angle during CT-guided biopsies. Seventeen adults scheduled for a biopsy took part. The goal was to see if these tools improve accuracy compared to the standard meth…

This study looked at 52 adults who had a living-donor liver transplant to see if using a microscope or surgical loupes (magnifying glasses) leads to fewer bile duct problems after surgery. The goal was to find out which tool helps reduce complications like leaks or narrowing of t…

This study looked back at medical records and CT scans from 274 people who had radiation therapy for liver cancer. The goal was to find the exact radiation dose that causes a visible change on follow-up scans, called a Focal Liver Reaction (FLR). By comparing patients who had thi…
