Microarray Analysis of Gene Expression in Liver Tumors

Completed

• Conditions: Liver Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT00373737
• Lead Sponsor: Stanford University

Brief Summary

This study aims to study the gene expression profiles of liver tumors to help us understand their biology, and to find new tumor and treatment markers for liver cancer.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this research is to study of the biologic features of liver tissue (by studying their gene expression profiles), so that we can increase our understanding of the processes involved in liver cancer development and growth. This may allow us to identify more effective ways of diagnosing, treating, and predicting the outcome of patients with liver cancer.
