Good performance of liver stiffness measurement in the prediction of postoperative hepatic decompensation in patients with cirrhosis complicated with hepatocellular carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: LSM has a similar performance to HVPG in predicting decompensation at 3 months in patients with early HCC submitted to liver resection. Three-month decompensation is better associated with survival. PMID: 30167578 [PubMed - in process]
