Using augmented reality during liver tumor surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using augmented reality (AR) – a technology that overlays digital images onto the real world – during liver tumor surgery is safe and practical. It aims to help surgeons remove tumors more precisely, which could lead to better outcomes for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove one or more liver tumors.
- The tumor being studied can be removed with a simple wedge resection (just the tumor and a small rim of healthy tissue).
- The tumor is known or suspected to be cancer.
- The tumor is no larger than 50 millimeters (about 2 inches) in any direction.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You can read and understand Swedish, and you give your consent to participate.

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 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 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 a new imaging system to help surgeons plan liver removal operations. If you have a liver tumor that can be removed, this study may help improve surgical accuracy and outcomes.
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 study tests a new augmented reality (AR) navigation system that helps surgeons see your brain images overlaid on your head during surgery. It may help make brain tumor or blood vessel surgery more precise and safer.
