The research study is being conducted to evaluate a new imaging technique for detecting the response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to locoregional or systemic therapy. Locoregional therapies or LRT are called Transarterial Chemoembolization or TACE, Transarterial Radioembolization or TARE and Microwave Ablation or MWA. Systemic therapies or ST are therapy …
The Revitalize-1 Study will look at a potential procedure called duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR). The DMR procedure acts on the first layer (mucosa) of the duodenum (the part of the small intestine located immediately after the stomach). By removing an excess layer, the treatment may improve blood sugar control. This …
