Prognostic Significance of PET− SUVmax in Patients Undergoing Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma >3 cm: A Retrospective Analysis
Background/Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) >3 cm often recurs after resection, indicating a need for better risk stratification. The 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) reflects tumor aggressiveness. We evaluated the prognostic significance of pre...
