May 2nd, 2021 - Radioactive seed implantation is an effective invasive treatment method for malignant liver tumors in hepatocellular carcinomas. However, challenges of the manual procedure may degrade the efficacy of the technique, such as the high accuracy requi...

Apr 28th, 2021 - It is difficult to achieve whole tumor ablation using percutaneous ethanol ablation therapy (PEAT) due to the limited diffusion of ethanol. To determine whether chemotherapy can be an adjuvant therapy to benefit PEAT, we investigated ultrasound-gu...

Apr 25th, 2021 - Primary and secondary liver tumors are completely different diseases but are usually treated similarly using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). However, the acoustic parameters of these tissues are not well documented. In this study, attenu...

Apr 24th, 2021 - Pediatric liver cancers (PLCs) comprise diverse diseases affecting infants, children and adolescents. Despite overall good prognosis, PLCs display heterogeneous response to chemotherapy. Integrated genomic analysis of 126 pediatric liver tumors sh...

Apr 23rd, 2021 - Accurate estimation of the hepatic functional reserve before liver resection is important to avoid post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of indocyanine green retention test with portal ...

May 5th, 2017 - Liver metastases are the most common malignant liver tumors. The accurate and early detection and characterization of liver lesions is the key to successful treatment strategies. Increasingly, surgical resection in combination with chemotherapy is...

Jun 30th, 2009 - This document is a position statement of the Interventional Oncology Task Force and the Standards Division of the Society of Interventional Radiology regarding the use of percutaneous RF ablation for the treatment of liver tumors.

Oct 24th, 2008 - Focal tumor ablation--whether applied percutanously, laparoscopically, or by means of open surgery-is an effective therapy for selected liver tumors. The choice of liver ablation as well as the choice between percutaneous and surgical approaches i...

Like many types of cancer, liver cancer symptoms often do not appear in the early stages. As a result, liver tumors tends to be diagnosed at a more advanced stage. Because no widely recommended routine screening tests have been developed for liver...

Jul 9th, 2018 - A heat-activated chemotherapeutic approach appeared safe and elicited tumor responses in a small group of chemorefractory liver cancer patients, according to a proof-of-concept study. Among 10 patients with liver tumors treated with lyso-thermosen...

May 22nd, 2015 - SAN DIEGO – Clear resection margins, no matter how narrow, are associated with increased survival when surgeons excise liver tumors from metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). When colorectal cancer metastasizes to the liver, tumor resection can be.

Jan 5th, 2014 - Surgical resection of huge hepatocellular carcinomas was linked with better survival outcomes versus transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), researchers found. Surgical resection as the first treatment for huge hepatocellular carcinomas was associ...

Jun 12th, 2013 - Action Points An oncofetal gene normally silenced in the adult liver contributes to hepatocellular carcinoma through several cellular pathways. Note that the findings confirmed the oncofetal gene SALL4 as a biomarker for an aggressive subtype of H...

May 16th, 2011 - Damian Dupuy, MD //Award Winners Radiofrequency Pioneer Heralded A Rhode Island physician and researcher credited with expanding the use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to alleviate metastatic bone pain in cancer patients has been honored by the ...
