Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this protocol is to obtain a better match between the actual staging and the proposed treatment in order to avoid inadequate treatments at risk of complications. In patients with HCC classified as BCLC A to C, the combination of 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET- TomoDensitoMetry (TDM) with conventional imaging would clinically significantly modify the therapeutic strategy initially planned by conventional imaging alone. This change in therapeutic strategy would be from curative to palliative treatment or from loco-regional palliative to systemic palliative treatment. 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET-CT scans will be performed after inclusion of the patient in the study and prior to multidisciplinary consultation meeting for treatment discussion.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of death from cancer worldwide, developing on cirrhosis in 90% of cases. The prognosis of patients with HCC remains poor with an overall survival of around 10% at 5 years for all tumor stages combined. The diagnosis of HCC relies on non-invasive conventional imaging criteria (computed tomography \[CT\] and/or magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) and/or histology. Conventional imaging (liver CT and/or MRI and lung CT) enables HCC staging according to the Barcelona Clinical Liver Cancer (BCLC) system, linking each stage to therapeutic modalities. Accurate staging with reliable imaging methods is therefore crucial to determine the best treatment strategy. The principal objective is to demonstrate that the identification of new tumor lesions by an experimental procedure combining 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET-CT scans in patients with HCC, modifies the initially planned therapeutic strategy of a curative treatment palliative treatment, from locoregional palliative treatment to systemic palliative treatment.
