Omega-6 fats and liver cancer risk
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether omega-6 fatty acids (a type of fat found in some foods and supplements) play a role in the development of liver cancer. It compares people with liver cancer, people with liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), and healthy volunteers to find possible links.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.

This study looks at your risk of developing liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) if you have a liver condition such as NAFLD or a related disease. It aims to improve how doctors predict who might be at higher risk, so they can offer better monitoring and care.
This study is for people having liver cancer surgery. It will look at certain fats in your blood to see if they can help doctors understand and track liver cancer better.
This study looks at how chemicals in our environment and life stress might be linked to liver cancer. It is for people with fatty liver disease caused by metabolism or alcohol, who are having a liver biopsy.
This study looks at whether certain fats in your blood can help predict how well radiotherapy works for liver cancer. If you are getting radiation for liver cancer, your blood samples may help doctors learn more about your treatment response.
This study looks at how your genes and alcohol use together affect the risk of liver cancer. It may help find ways to prevent cancer in people with fatty liver disease or moderate alcohol intake.
This study looks at your risk of developing liver cancer if you have hepatitis B. It uses your medical history and test results to give you a better idea of your risk and help guide next steps.
