Phase 4 — The treatment has already been approved. Researchers are tracking how it works in a large number of people over time.
This trial is testing whether the type of anesthesia used during liver tumor removal surgery affects how well patients do afterward. Researchers are comparing , a medication given through an IV, with , a gas-based anesthetic that you breathe in. Both are standard anesthesia options, but doctors want to know which one may lead to better long-term outcomes for liver cancer patients.

Before your scheduled surgery, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two anesthesia types—you won't get to choose which one. During your operation to remove the liver tumor, your anesthesia team will monitor your vital signs closely, just as they would with standard care. After surgery, doctors will track how you recover and check on your health at 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years, recording any complications and how well you're doing overall.
