Irregular vascular pattern by contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography and high serum Lens culinaris agglutinin‐reactive fraction of alpha‐fetoprotein level predict poor outcome after successful radiofrequency ablation in patients with early‐stage hepatocellular carcinoma

Irregular vascular pattern by contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography and high serum Lens culinaris agglutinin‐reactive fraction of alpha‐fetoprotein level predict poor outcome after successful radiofrequency ablation in patients with early‐stage hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is considered the most effective treatment for early‐stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients unsuitable for resection. However, poor outcome after RFA has occasionally been reported worldwide. To predict such an outcome, we investigated imaging findings u...
