Augmented Reality Guidance for Liver Tumor Removal Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether augmented reality—a technology that overlays digital images onto the surgeon's view—can help surgeons safely remove small liver tumors. You would receive standard surgery, but the surgeon would use AR guidance to locate and remove your tumor more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a liver tumor (or suspected liver tumor) that needs to be surgically removed
- Your tumor is small (no larger than 5 cm in any direction)
- Your tumor can be removed with a straightforward surgical approach (wedge resection) affecting one to two sections of your liver
- You are 18 years or older and able to read and understand Swedish
- Your kidneys function adequately, and you have no allergy to contrast dye used in imaging
- You are healthy enough for minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic approach)

This study tests a new augmented reality system to help doctors place needles in the liver during MRI scans for biopsies or ablation (heat to destroy tumors). The goal is to see if it improves accuracy and speed.
This trial tests a new imaging technology that uses augmented reality (like a digital map overlay) to help surgeons better identify and remove swollen lymph nodes in the neck during lung cancer surgery. The goal is to make the surgery safer and more precise.
This study tests whether using augmented reality (a computer overlay) during robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer can help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely. It may be an option for people with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who have good erectile function.
This trial tests an augmented reality (AR) tool to help surgeons locate breast cancer tumors during breast-conserving surgery. You may join if you have a single, small invasive breast tumor and have not had chemotherapy before surgery.
This trial tests whether augmented reality can help doctors locate tumors that cannot be felt during breast cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for a non-palpable breast lesion and need an MRI, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new augmented reality system that helps guide the needle during a soft-tissue biopsy. It may make the procedure more accurate and easier for your doctor.
