Can Hepatic-splenic Elastography Predict the Risk of Hepatocellular Recurrence After Radiofrequency Ablation?
Sponsor
IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna
Enrollment
50 participants
Start Date
Apr 22, 2022
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The study aims to assess whether there is an association between hepatic and splenic elastography values and the risk of HCC recurrence after treatment with RFA
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is looking at whether a liver stiffness test (called elastography) can predict whether liver cancer will come back in people who had a liver tumor treated with a procedure that uses heat to destroy it (called radiofrequency ablation). Researchers hope this non-invasive test can help identify patients at higher risk of cancer returning.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You have chronic liver disease
- You have been diagnosed with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) and are scheduled for radiofrequency ablation treatment
- You have had or will have a liver stiffness test (Fibroscan or ARFI)
- You are 18 years of age or older
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- You are under 18 years old
- You have a mixed or other type of liver tumor (not hepatocellular carcinoma)
- You had a liver transplant or liver surgery for cancer in the past two years
- Your liver disease is in advanced failure (Child-Pugh class C)
- You have severe illness that makes participation unsafe
