MicroRNA Changes in Liver Cancer Treated with Heat
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study examines how certain molecules in your blood and tumor tissue change when liver cancer is treated with heat ablation (a procedure that destroys tumors using heat). Understanding these changes may help doctors better predict treatment success in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) confirmed by imaging or biopsy
- Your doctor has determined that thermal ablation (heat treatment) is appropriate for your cancer
- You do not have cancer that has spread to your liver from other parts of your body
- You have not previously had a liver transplant
- You do not have severe bleeding problems that cannot be corrected

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 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.
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 trial tests a combination approach for pancreatic cancer that has spread to a limited number of liver spots. It uses chemotherapy along with a “heat ablation” procedure (guided by ultrasound) to treat liver tumors, aiming to control the cancer more effectively.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses heat to target liver tumors and boost the immune system. It is for women with breast cancer that has spread to the liver who cannot have or do not want surgery.
This study looks at how microwave ablation (a heat treatment for liver tumors) affects the size of the treated area. It aims to understand what factors influence the result, so doctors can better plan future treatments.
