ELUCIDATE Trial Summary

It is sometimes difficult to precisely understand whether a primary liver cancer is a hepatocellular carcinoma or a cholangiocarcinoma. The researchers will develop and validate a liquid biopsy, based on exosomal content analysis and powered by machine learning, to help clinicians differentiate these two cancers before surgery.

Eligible Conditions
  • Liver Tumors
  • Liver Cancer
  • Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
  • Bile Duct Cancer
