Article Abstract
Background: Preoperative prediction of microvascular invasion (MVI) is critical for treatment strategy making in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model based on preoperative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to predict the MVI status and clinical outcomes in patients with HCC.
Methods: We retrospectively included a total of 321 HCC patients with pathologically confirmed MVI status. Preoperative DCE-MRI of these patients were collected, annotated, and further analyzed by DL in this study. A predictive model for MVI integrating DL-predicted MVI status (DL-MVI) and clinical parameters was constructed with multivariate logistic regression.
Results: Of 321 HCC patients, 136 patients were pathologically MVI absent and 185 patients were MVI present. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly different between the DL-predicted MVI-absent and MVI-present. Among all clinical variables, only DL-predicted MVI status and a-fetoprotein (AFP) were independently associated with MVI: DL-MVI (odds ratio [OR] = 35.738; 95% confidence interval [CI] 14.027-91.056; p < 0.001), AFP (OR = 4.634, 95% CI 2.576-8.336; p < 0.001). To predict the presence of MVI, DL-MVI combined with AFP achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.824.
Conclusions: Our predictive model combining DL-MVI and AFP achieved good performance for predicting MVI and clinical outcomes in patients with HCC.

Background: To evaluate the prognostic significance of micro-lymphatic invasion (MLI), independent of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and micro-vascular invasion (MVI) in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 137 ICC patients who underwent curative resections between January 2017 and December 2022 in Huashan Hospital. Patients were categorized based on MLI and MVI status, determined by D2-40, α-SMA, CD34, CK19 immunostaining in multi-sites of tumor and para-tumor.

Objectives: We developed and validated a combined CT-based model to predict microvascular invasion (MVI) in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) for surgical resection decision-making.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 292 patients with pathologically confirmed ICC between January 2012 and May 2023 at four institutions. The patients were divided into training (n = 141), test (n = 60), and external validation (n = 91) cohorts.

Aim: To evaluate the predictive value of multiregional radiomics signatures for preoperative microvascular invasion (MVI) status and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
Material And Methods: This study included 200 ICC patients (training cohort: n = 160; validation cohort: n = 40) who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For each patient, volumes of interest (VOIs) were defined for the intratumoural region (VOI) and combined intratumoural with peritumoural 8, 10, and 12 mm regions (VOI, VOI, VOI).
