Simple blood test could guide surgery for tough liver cancer
NCT ID NCT06381648
Summary
This study tested a new blood test to see if it could accurately detect whether a type of liver cancer called intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) had spread to nearby lymph nodes before a patient's surgery. The goal was to help doctors decide the best surgical plan, such as whether to remove lymph nodes, without relying solely on less accurate imaging scans. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 230 patients to see if specific markers in the blood could predict cancer spread.
