Blood test may spot liver cancer comeback early
NCT ID NCT05375370
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a blood test that looks for tiny bits of tumor DNA (ctDNA) can predict if liver cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will take blood samples before and after surgery, then at 3 and 6 months, from 150 adults with liver cancer. The goal is to see if changes in ctDNA levels can warn of recurrence sooner than standard scans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test that catches liver cancer recurrence earlier than current methods.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The test may not reliably predict recurrence.
