Predicting Survival Using Whole-Liver MRI Radiomics in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma After TACE Refractoriness
ConclusionThe combined radiomics model from whole-liver signatures may effectively predict survival for HCC patients continuing TACE after TACE refractoriness. The TLrad-score and tumor burden are potential prognostic markers for TACE therapy following TACE-resistance.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)
