First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study looks at tissue from liver tumors that were destroyed by heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see if a lab test on that tissue can tell whether the treatment fully killed the cancer, which CT scans cannot always show. About 150 people with liver cancer that spread from another organ are taking part. The results may help doctors better understand if the ablation worked and guide future treatment decisions.
