Core Tip
Core tip: In this paper, we report that patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma presenting a higher percentage of genome change or copy number aberrations affecting MYC, ELAC2, SYK, GAK, MECOM, or WRN are predicted to have worse outcomes, and they should be intensively followed after resection.
