متن کاملComparison of usefulness of clinical diagnostic criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma in a hepatitis B endemic area
BACKGROUND/AIMS We compared the accuracy and usefulness of clinical diagnostic criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma in a hepatitis B virus (HBV)-endemic area. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 355 patients who had undergone liver resection or biopsy at our institution between January 2008 and December 2009. These patients were reevaluated using four noninvasive diagnostic criteria f...
