Summary

This study tested whether a combination of two drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can prevent liver cancer from returning in people who had surgery or ablation to remove their tumor. About 668 participants at high risk of recurrence were randomly assigned to receive the drug combination or just be monitored. The main goal was to see how long people stayed cancer-free.
