A systematic review of microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma: diagnostic and prognostic variability.

abstract：BACKGROUND:This prospective multicenter sentinel lymph node (SLN) trial investigated whether molecular analysis would improve the detection of SLN metastases and their prognostic value. We report mammaglobin quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results and clinical outcome for 547 patients (mean f...
