New test may reveal hidden cancer after liver ablation

This study looks at tissue from liver tumors that were destroyed by heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see if a special test can tell whether the treatment fully killed the cancer or if new cancer cells are growing. Standard CT scans can't always tell the difference between new cancer and healthy liver changes. The study involves 150 people with liver cancer that spread from another part of the body. Researchers hope this test will help doctors know sooner if more treatment is needed.
