Prediction Model for Intrahepatic Distant Recurrence After Radiofrequency Ablation for Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma 2 cm or Smaller.

Background: Intrahepatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high recurrence rate after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). However, to date, no standalone predictive factors for intrahepatic distant recurrence after curative ablation have been reported.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate predictive factors for intrahepatic distant recurrence after curative treatment with RFA for HCCs.
