Ultrasound contrast for early liver cancer in cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if a special ultrasound contrast agent can help find liver cancer earlier in people with cirrhosis. It compares this method with other imaging tests to improve early detection and treatment planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis (liver scarring) from any cause, such as hepatitis, alcohol, or other conditions.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can have regular imaging tests like ultrasound and CT or MRI scans.
- You have not been diagnosed with liver cancer before, or if you have, it has been treated and cured.
- You are not allergic to contrast agents or eggs, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study uses a special ultrasound with contrast to help tell apart two conditions that cause high blood pressure in the liver: porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (a rare disease of the liver's small blood vessels) and cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). The test may help avoid the need for a liver biopsy.
This study compares two imaging methods, ultrasound and MRI, to see which is better at finding liver cancer early in people who are at high risk. Early detection could lead to more effective treatment and better outcomes.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and treat liver cancer by combining advanced imaging tests and genetic analysis. It may help in choosing the most effective treatment for each person.
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.
This trial uses a special ultrasound with contrast dye to get a clearer picture of liver spots that other scans (CT, MRI, or PET) couldn't fully identify. The goal is to see if this ultrasound can help doctors make a more accurate diagnosis.
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.
