CT scan clues may guide better liver cancer care
NCT ID NCT07449065
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 324 adults with intermediate-stage liver cancer to see if CT scan features could predict how well they would respond to a combination treatment of targeted therapy and a procedure that blocks the tumor's blood supply. The goal was to find out if certain scan patterns could help doctors choose the best treatment for each patient. The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to improve how we predict treatment success.
