New test may reveal hidden cancer after liver ablation

NCT ID NCT01494324

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at tissue from liver tumors that were destroyed using heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see if a special test on that tissue can tell whether the treatment fully killed the cancer, which standard CT scans cannot always do. About 150 people with liver cancer that spread from another part of the body are taking part. The results may help doctors better predict and monitor treatment success in the future.
