MRI scan before liver surgery to predict risks
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure liver stiffness before surgery to remove liver tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help predict surgical risks and improve outcomes for patients undergoing liver surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a liver tumor such as hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or liver metastasis from colorectal cancer.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor (hepatectomy).
- Your liver function is good or moderately impaired (Child-Pugh class A or B).
- You can undergo an MRI scan without any contraindications (like metal implants or severe claustrophobia).

This study looks at whether a special MRI scan after liver surgery can help predict if the cancer might come back. By measuring the stiffness of the tissue around the tumor, doctors hope to identify patients who may need closer monitoring.
This study uses a special MRI technique (3D-MRE) to see if the structure of your liver tumor can predict how well you will respond to conversion therapy, which is treatment designed to shrink the tumor enough for surgery. If your tumor is likely to respond, this could help your doctor choose the best treatment plan.
This study tests a new type of MRI that can look at the liver in more detail. It compares images from people with liver cancer and healthy people to see if it can help doctors better understand or detect the disease.
This trial compares a shorter MRI using a special dye to a CT scan for detecting liver cancer recurrence in people who have been cancer-free for at least two years after surgery or local treatment.
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to get a clearer picture of liver fat, inflammation, and scarring in people with chronic liver disease. It aims to help doctors diagnose and understand liver problems better.
