A preoperative nomogram for predicting long-term survival after resection of large hepatocellular carcinoma (>10 cm)

Abstract

We constructed a preoperative nomogram to predict long-term survival in patients with HCC >10 cm. This nomogram is useful in determining whether a patient with large HCC might truly benefit from liver resection, which is paramount in low- and middle-income countries where HCC is often diagnosed at advanced stages.
