Could a simple ultrasound replace costly scans for liver cancer patients?

NCT ID NCT06261814

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can accurately show how well liver tumors respond to a treatment called chemoembolization (TACE). Currently, doctors wait 1-2 months after TACE and use MRI or CT scans to check results. CEUS can be done during the procedure itself, potentially giving faster and cheaper answers. About 266 adults scheduled for TACE will receive CEUS, and researchers will compare its accuracy to standard imaging.
