Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major concern in its management. Accurately predicting the risk of recurrence is crucial for determining appropriate treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes. A certain amount of radiomics models for HCC recurrence prediction have been proposed. This study aimed to assess the role of radiomics models in the prediction of HCC recurrence and to evaluate their methodological quality.
