Prognostic Models for HCC Based on Tumor Micronecrosis

April 27, 2023 updated by: TingBo Liang, Zhejiang University

Development and Validation of Novel Models Including Tumor Micronecrosis for Predicting the Postoperative Survival of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) leads to the unsatisfying predicting performance of current staging systems. HCC patients with pathological tumor micronecrosis have immunosuppressive microenvironment. We aimed to develop novel prognostic models by integrating micronecrosis to more precisely predict the survival of HCC patients after hepatectomy.
