CT-guided Localization for Micro Hepatocellular Carcinoma Before Surgical Resection

The Feasibility of CT-guided Localization for Micro Hepatocellular Carcinoma Before Surgical Resection


Sponsor

Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital

Enrollment

5 participants

Start Date

May 1, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In this project, the preoperative anatomical location of micro hepatocellular carcinoma under the guidance of CT can provide guidance for accurate surgical resection. It may also shorten the operation time and reduce intraoperative bleeding.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a CT-guided method to locate and mark very small liver tumors (less than 1 cm) before surgery, so surgeons can find and remove them precisely. These tiny cancers are often invisible on regular ultrasound scans, making them hard to locate during an operation. **You may be eligible if:** - You are at least 18 years old - You have a very small liver cancer (less than 1 cm) that cannot be seen on standard ultrasound - You have liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) from any cause - The small tumor can be detected on a special contrast CT or MRI scan **You may NOT be eligible if:** - Your liver function is severely impaired (Child-Pugh grade C) - You have uncontrolled high blood pressure - You have severe lung or heart disease Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

PROCEDURECT-guided localization for micro hepatocellular carcinoma before surgical resection

After preoperative preparation was completed, on the day of surgery, disposable pulmonary nodular localization needle (Ningbo Sonjiecang Biological Technology Co., LTD., Model: SS510-10) was used for the localization of micro hepatocellular carcinoma that could be found by preoperative CT enhancement or MRI. After the micro hepatocellular carcinoma was located under the guidance of CT, and then the patient was sent to the operating room. During the operation, the lesion was removed according to the tail line of the positioning needle and the position of the positioning needle.
