Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Liver resection and transplantation are currently the most important treatments,but the high recurrence rate of postoperative tumors significantly reduces long-term survival. Microvascular invasion(MVI) predicts the risk of postoperative tumor recurrence and is an independent risk factor for recurrence after resection. Furthermore,focusing on how the postoperative management can be improved on histopathologically confirmed patients with HCC with MVI,and the potential roles of using predictive tests to estimate the risk of presence of MVI,help in preoperative therapeutic decision-making in patients with HCC.
