Nurse-led preparation program for liver cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a personalized preparation program led by nurses before liver cancer surgery helps patients recover better and have fewer complications. The program is designed specifically for people scheduled to have part of their liver removed.

This trial uses a test on your tumor (an 'organoid') to pick which medicines might work best for you after surgery. The goal is to lower the chance of your liver cancer coming back.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program before surgery helps improve recovery after converting unresectable liver cancer to a resectable state. If you are scheduled for conversion therapy, this program may strengthen your body for a smoother postoperative recovery.
This trial studies a structured exercise and training program before and after liver transplantation to help people recover better. You may be able to benefit if you’re getting an elective liver transplant and can safely participate in the training plan.
This study tests a pre-surgery exercise and nutrition program (prehabilitation) for people waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to see if getting stronger before surgery can help you recover better after the transplant.
This trial uses a computer model to predict if your liver cancer might come back aggressively after surgery. If you are at high risk, you may receive additional treatment before surgery to lower that risk.
This trial tests a combination of treatments before and after surgery for liver cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if adding targeted therapy and immunotherapy can reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
