Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to determine if MRI imaging can detect genetic, proteomic, and metabolomic characteristics of liver tumors. The study also aims to determine if these imaging characteristics are correlated with clinical outcomes.

- label
- Transcatheter Chemoembolization or TACE
- description
- A technique called transcatheter chemoembolization (TACE) is used for some patients with liver cancer that cannot be treated surgically. The procedure is a way of delivering cancer treatment directly to a tumor through minimally-invasive means.
- interventionNames
- Procedure: TACE
- label
- Yittrium 90 or Y-90
- description
- Radioembolization is a minimally invasive procedure that combines embolization and radiation therapy to treat liver cancer. Tiny glass or resin beads filled with the radioactive isotope yttrium Y-90 are placed inside the blood vessels that feed a tumor. This blocks the supply of blood to the cancer cells and delivers a high dose of radiation to the tumor while sparing normal tissue.
- interventionNames
- Procedure: Y-90
- label
- Microwave Ablation or MWA
- description
- Microwave ablation (MWA), destroys liver tumors using heat generated by microwave energy. A CT scan or ultrasonic guidance is used to pinpoint the exact location of the tumor. A thin antenna, which emits microwaves, is then inserted into the tumor. The probe produces intense heat that ablates (destroys) tumor tissue, often within 10 minutes.
