MRI-based radiomics model for preoperative prediction of 5-year survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Recurrence is the major cause of mortality in patients with resected HCC. However, without a standard approach to evaluate prognosis, it is difficult to select candidates for additional therapy.

Methods: A total of 201 patients with HCC who were followed up for at least 5 years after curative hepatectomy were enrolled in this retrospective, multicentre study.
