Summary

This study looks at a new type of electrode (Octopus MP) used in radiofrequency ablation to treat small liver cancers (3 cm or smaller). The goal is to see how well it destroys tumors and how often cancer comes back at the treatment site. About 76 adults with liver disease (like hepatitis or cirrhosis) and up to 3 small tumors will be followed after the procedure. The study also checks for any heat-related damage to nearby organs.
