Summary

This early-stage study tests whether giving immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab) before and after surgery is safe and helps patients with liver cancer that can be removed. About 31 adults with resectable liver cancer will receive the drugs, then undergo surgery. The main goal is to see how many patients can complete the pre-surgery treatment and proceed to surgery, while also checking for side effects and how well the tumor is removed.
