MR-Guided Laser Effective in Treating Liver Tumors
A large-scale, 12-year study has found that laser ablation with magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is as effective as traditional surgery in the treatment of liver tumors in some patients. view more (2005-11-30)
Tiny radioactive spheres effectively treat cancer that has spread to the liver
Placing tiny radioactive spheres directly into the liver through its blood supply halted growth of tumors that had spread to the organ in 71 percent of patients tested in a small clinical trial, researchers from Mayo Clinic Jacksonville report. view more (2007-10-30)
New technique in treating patients with liver cancer proves effective
Use of multipolar radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases is effective and has a relatively low recurrence rate, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Charité, Campus Benjamin Franklin in Berlin, Germany. view more (2008-04-14)
Precision radiation therapy yields rare success for liver tumors
Shaped-beam radiation therapy is a promising treatment for life-threatening metastatic liver tumors, according to researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center who report an 88 percent success rate for controlling the lesions. view more (2005-10-20)
New clues for treatment of liver cancer
By generating tumors in laboratory mice that mimic human liver cancer and by comparing the DNA of mouse and human tumors, researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified two genes that are likely to play a role in the third leading cause of human cancer deaths. view more (2006-06-29)
High-energy ultrasound sharpens view of liver tumors
A high-energy form of ultrasound imaging developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering produces pictures of liver tumors that are better than those made with traditional ultrasound, according to results of a clinical study. view more (2008-01-08)
Researchers aim to cut future need for liver transplants
University of Edinburgh scientists have identified primitive liver cells —possibly dormant from the earliest developmental stage of a human being — which have the potential to mature into different cells types and help repair a failing liver. view more (2006-07-07)
New Jefferson Trial to Test Radiation-Emitting Beads Against Advanced Liver Cancer
Liver cancer specialists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia are beginning an 18-month study of a new treatment for liver cancer. The therapy entails injecting tiny beads that emit small amounts of radiation into the liver's main artery while also blocking the blood supply feeding the cancer's growth. view more (2008-02-13)
Penn State College of Medicine research isolates liver cancer stem cells prior to tumor formation
Penn State College of Medicine researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Southern California, have taken an important step in understanding the role of stem cells in development of liver cancer. view more (2009-09-18)
Antibody retards growth and induces death in liver cancer cells
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine report a significant new advance in the search for an effective treatment for human liver cancer in the July issue of Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. view more (2007-07-12)
Sequential TACE and cryosurgery can improve survival times for patients with HCC?
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)--a liver cancer--is recognized as one of the most common cancers in the world that disproportionately affects Southeast Asians and Africans. view more (2009-08-12)
HBV genotype B/B3 and C/C1 are the major genotypes in Indonesia?
Previous studies revealed that HBV genotypes as well as mutations in the core promoter, precore or HBx gene have been shown to have an association with the clinical outcome of liver disease, however, this is still controversial. view more (2009-09-16)
Cycles of cell death, proliferation key to liver cancer
Research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that liver cancer is likely caused by cycles of liver cell death and renewal. view more (2006-06-23)
Should living liver donation be available in the NHS?
Living liver donation should be available on the NHS, although it should not be adopted without full public debate and agreement because of the risks to donors, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Living liver donation could benefit patients who are likely to die or deteriorate before a cadaveric donor becomes available. It involves a minimum... view more... (2003-09-17)
Targeting the protein AEG1 impairs human liver cancer growth in mice
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive form of liver cancer and one of the 5 most common cancers worldwide. Devanand Sarkar and colleagues, at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond, have now identified a gene that is expressed at high levels in human HCC tumor samples and generates a protein important for HCC... view more...

Novel criteria to differentiate fibrosis from steatohepatitis
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the most common cause of liver cirrhosis in the Western world. Liver biopsy is currently considered the gold standard for assessing hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis in these patients. view more (2010-03-08)
Losing a bit of weight and doing some exercise slows progression of chronic liver disease
Losing weight and exercising regularly slows progression of chronic liver disease in those who are overweight, indicates a study in Gut. Being overweight is bad for the liver. And non-alcoholic fatty liver is increasingly being diagnosed in those who are overweight, diabetic, or who have insulin resistance syndrome, a precursor to diabetes.... view more... (2004-02-11)
Is bilateral liver resection safe for bilateral intrahepatic stones?
A research article to be published on August 7, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. In the present study, 101 consecutive patients with bilateral intrahepatic stones who underwent bilateral liver resection in the past 10 years were reviewed retrospectively. view more (2009-08-06)
Incidence of Fatty Liver Disease rises as obesity in children increases
Indiana University School of Medicine researchers are taking a closer look at a disease whose incidence is rising as obesity in children increases. Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, more popularly known as Fatty Liver Disease, occurs in approximately 15% of obese children. view more (2007-03-16)
Is molecular adsorbent recirculating system effective for all the liver failure patients?
Since its introduction in 1993, molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) albumin dialysis has been a subject of research, with the hope of treating effectively patients with acute liver failure. view more (2009-07-08)
