Early Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients without Microscopic Vascular Invasion: Clinicopathological Characteristics and Risk Factors by Ngo HTT, Nguyen DD, Dang MX, Doan TTP, Thai TT

“…Independent factors for early tumor recurrence included preoperative treatment with Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) or Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) (HR = 8.63, 95% CI = 1.45– 51.38), tumor size &gt; 5 cm (HR = 3.82, 95% CI = 1.17– 12.42), and HCV infection (HR = 4.61, 95% CI = 1.41– 15.1).Conclusion: The pathogenesis and pattern of early tumor recurrence in MVI-negative HCC differ from that in MVI-positive cases. Identifying risk factors, such as HCV infection, tumor size, and preoperative locoregional therapy, may aid in optimizing treatment strategies and postoperative surveillance.Keywords: hepatocellular carcinoma, microvascular invasion, early recurrence, risk factor, clinical characteristics, pathological characteristics…”
