Article Synopsis
- Microscopic vascular invasion (MVI) significantly increases the risk of tumor recurrence and decreases overall survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after surgery.
- The study analyzed 857 patients with HCC, finding that 38.2% had MVI, categorized into portal vein invasion, capsular vein invasion, or both types.
- Patients with both types of MVI had the highest risk for recurrence and mortality, with a particularly high risk of extrahepatic recurrence compared to those without MVI or with only one type of MVI.
Background: Non-B, non-C hepatocellular carcinoma (NBNC-HCC) may be related to metabolic syndrome, and the incidence of this tumor type is increasing annually. The definition of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) proposed in 2020 may help to more accuratelyassess the association between metabolic syndrome and NBNC-HCC. However, this new concept has not yet been applied in NBNC-HCC research.
