2000 liver cancer patients studied to uncover best Pre-Surgery treatments
NCT ID NCT06405321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at the medical records of 2000 people with liver cancer in Guangxi, China. Researchers want to find out which treatments given before surgery (called conversion or neoadjuvant therapy) work best to help patients live longer. The study includes treatments like chemotherapy directly into the liver, targeted drugs, and immunotherapy. It does not test new treatments but instead analyzes past results to guide future care.
