Beneficial body mass index to enhance survival outcomes in patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma following microwave ablation treatment

Purpose To identify the beneficial body mass index (BMI) for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to achieve longer survival time following curative microwave ablation (MWA). Methods This retrospective study evaluated 474 patients with solitary primary HCC who underwent MWA. BMI at initial a...
