Understanding the metabolic profile of liver and pancreatic tumors

METabolic PROFILE of Hepatocarcinoma and Pancreatic Tumors

Not applicable Interventional Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05794048

This study is trying to find new ways to understand and treat liver and pancreatic tumors by looking at how these cancer cells use energy to grow.

What this trial studies

This study aims to identify new prognostic and theranostic markers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and pancreatic tumors, including pancreatic adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors. It focuses on the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells, which is crucial for tumor growth and proliferation. By analyzing the energy pathways involved in these tumors, the study seeks to improve patient management and treatment strategies based on more relevant biological markers. The research is conducted at Hôpital Beaujon in Clichy, France.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and over with either hepatocellular carcinoma or pancreatic tumors eligible for surgical treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with tumors that are not eligible for surgical intervention or those who do not meet the inclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective treatment options for patients with liver and pancreatic tumors.

How similar studies have performed: While metabolic profiling in cancer is an emerging field, this specific approach to hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic tumors is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
