Core Tip	Postoperative interventions play a crucial role in enhancing recovery in patients with liver cancer, especially following surgical treatments such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. This study demonstrates that combining an artificial liver support system with traditional Chinese medicine aimed at strengthening the body and removing blood stasis can significantly improve liver function, promote gastrointestinal recovery, regulate immune function, and lower tumor marker levels. The approach maintains high safety and may offer a comprehensive, integrative strategy to improve clinical outcomes, reduce complications, and enhance the quality of life for postoperative liver cancer patients.
