MRI Features and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)-Based Nomogram to Predict Prognosis of Microvascular Invasion-Negative Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Wei Y, Huang X, Pei W, Zhao Y, Liao H

“…The risk score calculated by nomogram could divide MVI-negative HCC patients into high-risk group or low-risk group (P < 0.0001). DCA analysis revealed that the nomogram could increase net benefit and exhibited a wider range of threshold probabilities by the risk stratification than the independent risk factors in the prediction of MVI-negative HCC recurrence.Conclusion: The nomogram prognostic model based on MRI features and NLR for predicting RFS showed high accuracy in MVI-negative HCC patients after curative resection. …”
