Brief Summary

Microvascular invasion (MVI) has been well demonstrated as an unfavorable prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and patients with MVI have a high risk of tumor recurrence after curative hepatectomy. Currently, the diagnosis of MVI is determined on the postoperative histologic examination, which greatly limits its influence on preoperative decision making. Therefore, we constructed this prospective study to develop a machine learning-based model for preoperative prediction of MVI by extracting high-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) image features.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Presence of microvascular invasion

    Postoperative histologically confirmed microvascular invasion

    Through patient enrollment completion ,an average of 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Preoperative imaging features

In this project, there is only one study group which comprises of patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) who will undergo preoperative Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced magnetic resonance image.

Diagnostic Test: Magnetic resonance image

Interventions

Histologically-diagnosed primary HCC after curative hepatectomy. The magnetic resonance image will be imported into the software ,and the radiomic textural features will be automatically extracted by the Analysis-Kit software.The high-throughput extracted features will be then selected and a prediction model will be developed in the training set in which patients were collected from a retrospective study. In this project, an independent validation set will be collected and used to validate the prediction accuracy of the model.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Between June 2017 and July 2017,all patients who will undergo curative resection (R0 resection) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun YatSen University in Guangzhou, China, for HCC based on the modified WHO classification of tumors of the digestive system, are considered for inclusion. By the eligibility criteria stated below, MVI presentative rate is 30-42% in chinese HCC population as reported, we retrospectively collected about 80 patients for training and an estimated 40 patients will be needed for validation set of this study.

You may qualify if:

  • Asian patients aged 18~80 years old;
  • HCC without macroscopic vascular invasion according to imaging findings;
  • Child Pugh A-B stage;
  • Receipt of preoperative Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR imaging of the abdomen within one month before surgery;
  • Histologically-diagnosed primary HCC after curative hepatectomy;

You may not qualify if:

  • Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma;
  • With extra-hepatic metastasis or macrovascular invasion;
  • With incomplete clinical and imaging data;
  • Non-radical resection;
