Predicting recurrence patterns after resection of hepatocellular cancer

ConclusionsRegardless of initial MC status, at 5 years the majority of patients remained disease‐free or experienced recurrence within the MC after LR, and thus were potentially eligible for salvage transplantation (ST). Incorporating clinicopathological parameters into the MC allows for better risk stratification, which improves the selection of patients for ST and identifies patients in need of closer surveillance.
