Study of thermal ablation for liver tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study follows patients who are having a procedure called thermal ablation to treat liver tumors. It aims to learn more about how well the procedure works and how safe it is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- A team of doctors (tumor board) has reviewed your case and decided that thermal ablation (using heat to destroy liver tumors) is a good option for you.
- You are willing and able to give informed consent to participate in the study.
- You have the mental capacity to make decisions about your care and sign the consent form.

This trial tests a heat-based treatment for liver cancer tumors that uses multiple methods to destroy cancer cells. It may help people with liver tumors that haven't spread and who are healthy enough for treatment.
This study tests a treatment that uses heat from microwaves to destroy liver tumors that have spread from other parts of the body. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective at removing these tumors without major surgery.
This trial compares two ways to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer): microwave ablation and laparoscopic hepatectomy (keyhole liver surgery). It may help find which option works better for tumor control and recovery in people with limited, non-spread cancer.
This study uses ultrasound and MRI images to help plan a more precise heat treatment (ablation) for liver cancer. The aim is to target the tumor better while protecting healthy liver tissue.
This study tests new criteria for evaluating how well thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer nodules) worked in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, a type of liver cancer). It aims to improve follow-up imaging with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) or CT/MRI to see if the treatment was successful.
This trial studies different ways to place treatments inside the liver to control liver tumors when they can’t be removed with surgery or ablation. It may help certain people by improving how well the tumor is treated while keeping liver function safer.
