New drug duo aims to wipe out liver cancer before surgeons even operate

NCT ID NCT04721132

Summary

This study is testing whether giving two immunotherapy drugs before surgery can help people with operable liver cancer. The drugs, atezolizumab and bevacizumab, aim to help the body's immune system attack the cancer and cut off its blood supply. Researchers hope this pre-surgery treatment will kill more cancer cells and lower the chance of the cancer coming back after the operation.
