Refining MR-guided thermal ablation for HCC within the Milan criteria: a decade of clinical outcomes and predictive modeling at a single institution

Abstract Background The appropriateness of ablation for liver cancer patients meeting the Milan criteria remains controversial. Purpose This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of MR-guided thermal ablation for HCC patients meeting the Milan criteria and develop a nomogram for predicting s...
