MRI-based clinical-radiologic model to predict the efficacy and prognosis of interventional with systemic therapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicenter study

MRI imaging combined with clinical data can predict treatment response in advanced liver cancer, informing which patients need surgery or additional therapy.

This multicenter study developed an MRI-based clinical-radiomics model for predicting treatment response and prognosis in advanced HCC receiving combination interventional and systemic therapy, addressing a key clinical decision-making gap in this high-mortality cancer. Multicenter design strengthens generalizability, though abstract was not fully retrieved for detailed performance metrics.

Why it surfaced

Radiomics for HCC treatment response prediction is clinically relevant; multicenter design adds credibility; abstract not retrieved so specific metrics unavailable.
