Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the whether Lipiodol can be used as an imaging biomarker, predicting tumor response to therapy in patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer. Lipiodol-based transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been an accepted standard of care procedure for unresectable liver lesions for several decades. Lipiodol is used as a carrier for chemotherapy agents and also as an occlusion agent. In TACE procedures, Lipiodol is mixed with the chemotherapy agent(s) and delivered to the tumor via the hepatic artery, causing necrosis of the targeted tumor(s). Response to therapy will be evaluated every 1, 3 and 6 months by clinic visits, MRI/CT/PET scans and blood tests (to include assessment of liver function and tumor markers).

Primary Outcome

Lipiodol deposition in the tumor will be measured using non contrast CT. The images from the non contrast CT will also be correlated with RECIST response separately using contrast CT, MRI and PET imaging. Response rates taken at 30 days, 90 days, 180 days. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR): \>= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diam
