Image-guided liver tumor ablation study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new imaging method to check if liver tumors are completely destroyed by standard heat or cold ablation. It may help doctors know right after treatment whether more treatment is needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one or more liver tumors, either from liver cancer or spread from another cancer, and your doctor has already recommended ablation treatment.
- You have no more than 5 tumors that can be treated.
- Each tumor is 5 centimeters or smaller (about 2 inches).
- You are able to get a special contrast-enhanced CT scan both before and during the ablation procedure.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are 18 years old or older.

This trial tests a needle-based device that uses heat or cold to destroy liver tumors. It is for people with primary or secondary liver cancer who cannot have surgery or a transplant.
This study uses ultrasound and MRI images to help plan a more precise heat treatment (ablation) for liver cancer. The aim is to target the tumor better while protecting healthy liver tissue.
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 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.
This study tests a computer-guided microwave ablation procedure to destroy liver tumors. If you have early-stage liver cancer with up to 5 tumors, and one is 2-5 cm in size, you may be a candidate.
This study tests a microwave ablation device to destroy small liver tumors (up to 4 cm) using heat, without major surgery. It is designed for patients with limited disease (1 or 2 tumors) and good liver function.
