Abstract

Little is known about optimal surveillance schedules for patients who undergo repeat ablation after the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) initially treated with surgical resection or ablation (initially recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma [irHCC]). Given the low 5-year recurrence-free survival rates of 17.3%–30.2% among patients undergoing ablation after irHCC (1,2), a predictive model would be greatly beneficial in balancing timely recurrence detection against excessive follow-up visits in this population.
