First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study is testing whether using a radiofrequency device to heat the edges of the liver after tumor removal can lower the chance of cancer coming back. About 720 adults with liver cancer (either from colorectal cancer or primary liver cancer) will be randomly assigned to receive either standard surgery or surgery plus this extra heat treatment. The goal is to see if this simple addition makes a real difference in preventing local recurrence.
