Summary

This study looks at 70 people with liver cancer who had bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus. It compares two procedures—an ultrasound-guided injection of a glue-like substance versus a banding technique—to see which better prevents future bleeding. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to control this serious complication.
