Summary: Liver transplantation is often performed to treat liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), in patients with impaired liver function due to cirrhosis. A shortcoming, however, is tumor recurrence after transplantation. Approximately 15 % of patients receiving livers develop recurrence and this depends on the quality of the liver received. Machine liver perfusion, for example, hypothermic oxy...

Summary: This observational study aims to validate a deep learning model for predicting aggressive recurrence patterns in patients with early-stage liver cancer (HCC) after surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the AI model accurately identify patients at high risk of cancer recurrence within 2 years after surgery? Participants will provide clinical data and undergo standard surgery, followe...

Summary: Radiofrequency devices have been increasingly employed in liver surgery in order to achieve proper hemostasis and this use has become more evident with the implementation of minimal invasive surgery. Due to its well-known efficacy for tumor ablation (i.e. hepatocarcinoma) it use has been extended in some cases to ablate the liver surface after resection in questionable resection. Till date, despit...

Summary: The objective of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of yttrium-90 (SIRT) treatment and hepatic arterial perfusion chemotherapy (HAIC) on progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with potentially resectable HCC in the HCC population. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Whether yttrium-90 (SIRT) therapy is more effective than hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in tre...

Summary: Hepatobiliary malignancies-principally hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA)-are highly aggressive and often diagnosed at advanced stages. Curative-intent liver resection remains the standard for resectable disease; however, postoperative outcomes depend on an adequate functional future liver remnant (FLR). Associating Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation for Staged Hepat...

Summary: Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease, and postoperative pain management is critical for optimizing donor recovery and overall outcomes. Poorly controlled pain following donor hepatectomy may reduce quality of life, delay mobilization, and contribute to the development of chronic pain syndromes. Regional anesthesia techniques, such as intratheca...

Summary: Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains a significant life-threatening problem after major hepatectomies. Pentoxifylline is shown to have potent vasodilating properties for peripheral blood vessels, along with the hepatic vasculature. In a Double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) at a single tertiary care center (2006-2009) by Petrowsky, Henrik et al (Annals of Surgery, November 201...

Summary: the investigators will pursue two specific aims: (1) to monitor the extent of heme oxygenase induction (by measuring endogenous CO production) in relationship to the extent of hepatic resection (2) to assess the production of CO in patients following liver resection and correlate these findings to the rate of liver regeneration and liver function.

Summary: The therapeutic options for HCC include hepatectomy, liver transplantation, local ablation therapy, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), radiotherapy, and systemic therapy. However, as early-stage HCC often presents with no obvious symptoms or atypical clinical manifestations, over 80% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, losing the opportunity for surgical resection and leaving live...

Summary: This is a single-arm prospective phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost following hepatectomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with narrow margin (\<1cm) or nodal involvement. Eligibility patients will receive IMRT or VMAT. The prescription dose to high-risk area of tumor bed or positive lymph no...

Summary: Despite the medical and surgical progress of the last two decades, the selection of candidates for liver surgery remains based on old principles and insufficiently sensitive to fine-tune the gesture to patient-specific characteristics and make almost zero risks of postoperative liver failure (PLF) and death. It is therefore necessary to develop new tools that will make possible to predict the evol...

Summary: It is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm cohort study. A total of 10 patients will be included in this study. Based on standardized treatment, the treatment of bioartificial liver device will be applied 48-72 hours after extensive hepatectomy. The bioartificial liver device consists of clinical-grade human-induced hepatocytes (hiHep) generated from human fibroblasts via transdifferentiation...
