NCT06777017 · tracked via the Priya Life Science Italy tracker
Condition(s) studied
HCC - Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study 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
Inclusion Criteria:
* Clinical-instrumental diagnosis of chronic liver disease.
* Indication for treatment of HCC with RFA using the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC staging system) classification system19;
* Performing hepatic or splenic elastography by transient method with Fibroscan® (Echosens, Paris, France) or ARFI method (ACUSON Sequoia Siemens).
* Signature of informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
* Age \< 18 years;
* Diagnosis of hepatocholangiocarcinoma or other hepatic focal lesions other than hepatocellular carcinoma;
* Previous history of liver transplantation (OLT) and/or liver resection for HCC in the previous two years;
* Liver disease in decompensation (Child-Pugh C) at the time of informed consent or within three months prior to enrollment;
* Patients with other severe and advanced diseases that may affect short-term mortality (e.g. further non-remission neoplasms, heart failure \>NYHA III, chronic renal failure in dialysis, pulmonary diseases dependent on home oxygen therapy).
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Association between hepatic and splenic elastography values and the risk of HCC recurrence after treatment with RFA — 12 months
The primary objective of the study will be to assess whether there is an association between hepatic and splenic elastography values and the risk of HCC recurrence after treatment with RFA
