Intravascular Radiofrequency Ablation of Sympathetic Nerves for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma


Sponsor

Zhongda Hospital

Enrollment

5 participants

Start Date

Feb 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Patients who met the inclusion criteria were treated with endovascular radiofrequency ablation and desympathetic nerve surgery. After enrollment, endovascular radiofrequency ablation and desympathetic surgery were performed. After radiofrequency ablation, the safety and efficacy of follow-up treatment will be carried out every 1 month or so, including blood routine, liver and kidney function, tumor indicators, abdominal CT/magnetic resonance, etc.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy delivered inside blood vessels to disrupt (ablate) sympathetic nerves near the liver — nerves that may be driving tumor growth — as a potential treatment for advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC) that has not responded to previous therapies. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), confirmed clinically or by biopsy - Your cancer is locally advanced or has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be surgically removed - Your cancer has progressed after at least two lines of prior treatment - You are willing to sign the consent form and participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are not a surgical candidate for ablation - You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant - You have low blood pressure when standing (orthostatic hypotension) - You have a mixed type of liver cancer - You have intestinal obstruction, bleeding problems, or blood disorders - You have had a recent stroke or heart attack (within the last two weeks) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
