Core Tip
Core Tip: Our research objective is to construct a nomogram that combines preoperative clinical parameters and image features to predict patterns of vessels encapsulating tumor clusters and evaluate the prognosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma patients. The nomogram has undergone extensive validation across multiple patient centers, demonstrating robust predictive performance and promising implications for postoperative recurrence prediction.
