Research Status of Radiomics for Predicting Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the most common malignant tumors that pose a great threat to human health,and its treatment has always been a challenge due to its high morbidity and mortality rates and poor prognosis.Microvascular invasion(MVI)has been shown to be an important cause of postoperative recurrence and poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma in several studies.However,the diagnosis of MVI is mainly confirmed by histopathologic examination of hepatocellular carcinoma after surgery.If MVI could be predicted before surgery,it would have a great impact on guiding individualized treatment plans and improving patients'prognosis.At this stage,many studies have been conducted on the prediction of HCC MVI using CT or MRI radiomics,and all of them have achieved very good results.In this paper,we will describe the current research progress on the radiomic prediction of HCC MVI.
