This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is investigating whether the autonomic nervous system—the part of your nervous system that controls automatic body functions like heart rate and digestion—plays a role in how liver cancer develops and progresses in people with cirrhosis. Researchers will measure your nerve activity, assess your psychological traits, and examine liver tissue to understand individual differences in cancer risk and progression.
Current methods for detecting early liver cancer in cirrhotic patients are not sensitive enough, and doctors don't fully understand why some people with cirrhosis develop cancer while others don't. This research aims to identify new clues based on nervous system function that could help predict and detect liver cancer earlier, potentially improving survival rates.

You will have a dedicated consultation at the hospital where doctors will measure your nerve system activity while you rest and during light sensory stimulation, complete questionnaires about your psychological traits, and wear a heart monitor at home overnight to record your heart activity. Your liver biopsy—already planned as part of your routine care—will also be analyzed for nerve activity markers. The entire study involves visits and data collection over time as researchers follow your health.
