Abstract

BACKGROUND: Systemic inflammatory response represented by C-reactive protein and albumin ratio (CAR) and modified albumin-bilirubin (mALBI) grade both have been associated with long-term outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we investigated the prognostic utility of combined score of CAR and mALBI score to predict the prognosis of HCC patients after hepatic resection.
