Core Tip	This study revealed that the combination of Linggui Zhugan decoction with microwave ablation (MWA) significantly improved clinical outcomes and prolonged disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with primary liver cancer. The independent prognostic factors identified for DFS included treatment modality, presence of cirrhosis, tumor diameter, Child-Pugh score, and pretreatment levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and AFP-L3. These findings provide valuable insights for the optimization of treatment strategies for patients with liver cancer that may improve their outcomes.
