Comparing two scans to find liver cancer early
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of imaging scans (CEUS and AMRI) to see which one is better at finding liver cancer (HCC) in patients who have an unclear spot on their liver (an indeterminate nodule). It is for people with cirrhosis who have at least one such nodule but no confirmed liver cancer yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis that is classified as Child class A or B (a measure of liver function).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least one liver nodule that could not be diagnosed as cancer after standard scans (CT, MRI, or ultrasound with contrast).
- You do not have liver cancer (HCC) or other types of liver cancer at the start of the study.
- You have not had a liver transplant and do not have another active cancer outside the liver.

This trial compares two types of scans to see which detects liver cancer better in people at high risk. You would receive either an MRI with contrast or an ultrasound every 6 months to monitor for liver cancer.
This study compares a shorter, non-contrast MRI and ultrasound to monitor for liver cancer in people with cirrhosis whose ultrasound images aren’t clear enough. It aims to see which method works better and may help you get safer, more reliable follow-up.
This study looks at ways to improve screening for liver cancer in adults with long-term liver disease. It may help catch liver cancer earlier, which can make treatment easier.
This trial compares a shorter MRI using a special dye to a CT scan for detecting liver cancer recurrence in people who have been cancer-free for at least two years after surgery or local treatment.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to catch liver cancer sooner. If you have regular imaging checks for liver cancer or are getting an MRI for a liver spot, you may be able to join.
This study uses a special MRI machine to take detailed images of the liver. It includes people newly diagnosed with liver cancer who haven't had treatment yet, as well as healthy volunteers for comparison. The goal is to see how well the machine works for different patients.
