NCT03981497

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to collect data on efficacy and safety of microwave ablation (MWA) used to treat subjects with primary and secondary liver malignancies and renal malignancies. The main question it aims to evaluate the short, medium and long-term clinical course of patients treated with MWA. Participants will not alter their normal clinical and therapeutic practice, due to the observational nature of the study, and all data regarding microwave treatments will be collected (including demographic data). follow their normal clinical and therapeutic path

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Local Tumor Progression Free Survival

    Based on imaging evidence of tumor reccurence at site of ablation (within 5mm of ablation margins)

    From date of ablation until death from any cause; evaluated up to 5 years

  • Time to Local Progression

    Time from ablation to imaging evidence of tumor reccurence at site of ablation (within 5mm of ablation margins)

    From date of ablation until death from any cause; evaluated up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    From date of ablation until death from any cause; evaluated up to 5 years

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    From date of ablation until death from any cause; evaluated up to 5 years

  • Organ specific Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    From date of ablation until death from any cause; evaluated up to 5 years

Study Arms (2)

Small Renal Tumors

Subjects with small renal tumors (SRT) ad described by current ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) guidelines who are candidates for MWA

Procedure: Microwave ablation (MWA)

Primary and Secondary Liver cancer

Primary liver tumors: subjects who are candidates for MWA with nodules ≤ 3 cm Liver metastases: subjects who are candidates for MWA with nodules less than ≤ 3 cm

Procedure: Microwave ablation (MWA)

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Subjects with indication of laparoscopic or percutaneous ablation of primary or secondary liver tumors and small primary kidney tumors (according to ESMO guidelines). All patients will follow their normal therapeutic procedure and no examination will be added to what is already provided for in the normal management of patients suffering from these diseases.

You may qualify if:

  • \> 18 years with primary or secondary liver tumors or small kidney tumors that are not candidates for surgery or cannot be radically resected by surgery alone
  • Primary liver cancer: up to three liver nodules ≤ 3 cm
  • Secondary hepatic tumours: up to nodules ≤ 3 cm provided that the objective is complete hepatic clearance Renal tumours: single or multiple (von Hippel Lindau syndrome), \< 4 cm

You may not qualify if:

  • pregnant women
  • non-manageable coagulopathies
  • Extended extrahepatic or extrarenal disease
  • for liver ablation: presence of bilio-digestive anastomosis
