Summary

This study looked at 74 people with liver cancer whose tumors shrank completely after non-surgical treatments like chemoembolization, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The goal was to see if having surgery to remove any remaining tumor is better than simply watching and waiting. The results help doctors decide the best next step for patients who achieve a complete response.
