This study developed and validates of a nomogram based on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI to predict early
recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resection.

1. Nomogram, including
ALB, GGT, MVI (microvascular invasion), and BCLC stage, to predict early
recurrence (ER) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after curative
resection. The nomogram can help obtain the probability of ER (≤2
years) by adding up the points identified on the points scale for each
variable.

analysis (DCA) for predicting early recurrence. Pink line: All patients dead. Blue
line: No patient dead. Red dashed line: Model of the nomogram. Yellow line: Model
of the BCLC stage. Green line: Model of the AJCC-TNM stage (eighth edition).
