Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common solid cancers worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Early stage HCC can be cured by surgical removal or non-surgical ablation procedures, albeit a high recurrence rate up to 75% in 5 years remains an unsolved problem.
After general anesthesia, almost 90% patients have lung atelectasis. The lung atelectasis persisted even after the surgery, and caused post operative complication, for example: fever, pleural effusion, hypoxemia, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. So, how to improve lung function after the surgery
Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor acting on vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRβ) involved in tumor cell proliferation and tumor angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis is a cascade of linked and sequential steps ultimately leading to
Background
- TACE is the standard therapy for inoperable primary liver cancers or tumor control prior to transplantation. The mechanisms for TACE s failure remains poorly understood.
- Although acute hypoxia and significant tumor necrosis occurs following TACE, the tumor adaptive response and
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) are cancers with pathologic features of biliary tract differentiation which arise from intrahepatic bile ducts and/or trans-differentiation of hepatocytes. IHC is the second most common primary liver cancer and its incidence and mortality rates are increasing
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used as a minimally invasive option to eradicate tumors and preserve liver function in patients with impaired function or with a postoperative tumor recurrence. RFA can be curative with small localized HCCs up to 5 cm in diameter. However, the long-term
The study is a 3+3 design for dose escalation. Each cohort will have 3-6 patients based on tolerability. Patients will receive escalated doses of tirapazamine until maximally tolerated dose. Embolization is performed per standard practice using Lipiodol and Gelfoam under X-ray guidance. Once a
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has recently increased in the US mostly due to an increase in chronic hepatitis C infection. Angiogenesis is critical for the growth and metastatic progression of HCC. With the development of new antiangiogenic drugs such as sorafenib, imaging methods
Elective liver resection is performed mainly for benign and malignant liver tumors. The malignant tumors may arise primarily within the liver (hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma) or represent metastases from malignancies of other organs. During hepatic resection, the risk of severe
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the major modality utilized for tumor downstaging for transplant and for local therapy in non-transplant patients. This procedure allows delivery of concentrated drugs to the tumor, followed by embolization that eliminates its blood supply creating an
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To characterize the safety and tolerability of KD018 (Chinese herbal formulation PHY906) in combination with daily sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of KD018 plus sorafenib to bring forward into phase
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dosing (RP2D) for the combination of sorafenib tosylate and hypoxia-activated prodrug TH-302 (TH-302) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC; non-HCC) advanced solid
Background:
- Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) facilitates the adaptation of normal and tumor tissue to oxygen deprivation. HIF-1 is frequently overexpressed in cancer cells, where it is involved in the upregulation of many gene products essential for invasion, migration, angiogenesis, and
In the currently ongoing retrospective aspect of the study, we will obtain pathologic tumor explant specimens from the tumor explant population from 8/1/1994 to 12/31/2005. We will prepare 5-10 slides from each tumor explant block and measure HIF-1α using immunohistochemical staining. We will also
