Prognostic value of liver stiffness measurement in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated by radiofrequency ablation: a meta-analysis

Prognostic value of liver stiffness measurement in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated by radiofrequency ablation: a meta-analysis

Background In patients with stage 0–A (as per Milan criteria) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) image-guided ablation is less invasive and requires shorter hospitalization than resection, but long-term prognosis is poorer. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether liver stiffness measurem...
