Cleveland Clinic Researchers Develop New Criteria for Assessing Liver Cancer Patients for Transplantation
HALT-HCC is practical, easy to implement and outperformed other selection criteria. It has the potential to become a new clinical tool that can lead to more efficient use of donated organs.
First Purely Laparoscopic Living Donor Hepatectomy for Liver Transplant is a Landmark for Cleveland Clinic
Cleveland Clinic surgeons have performed the Midwest’s first purely laparoscopic donor hepatectomy for living donor liver transplant, a technically demanding procedure that improves safety and shortens recovery times, possibly motivating more people to donate.
Statins Reduce Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Statin use substantially reduces the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and should be considered as a standard of care in patients at high risk for the disease, according to a Cleveland Clinic meta-analysis.
Surgery Opens New Possibilities for Treating Liver Metastases from Colorectal Cancer
An innovative two-stage surgical treatment option that leverages the liver’s regenerative capacity is showing promise for some patients with previously unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
Hyperfractionated Radiotherapy, Intrabiliary Brachytherapy and Liver Transplant for Localized Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma
A multimodal approach of highly specialized radiation and chemotherapy followed by liver transplant can result in extremely promising outcomes in this difficult-to-manage disease.
New Study Enables a Dynamic View of Cancer-free Survival Rates for Rectal Cancer Patients Treated with Chemoradiation and Surgery
A new study presented at ASCRS 2018 helps clinicians give rectal cancer patients treated with chemoradiation and surgery a clearer picture of what they can expect to plan their futures.
Cancer Programming and Clinical Alignment
