Clinical Trials for Liver Tumors
Primary liver tumors in dogs and cats include hepatocellular carcinoma, biliary carcinoma, and other malignancies, with surgical resection offering the best prognosis for solitary masses. Inoperable or metastatic cases require systemic treatment. University clinical trials are investigating targeted therapies, interventional procedures, and new drug combinations that may be available at reduced or no cost.
