Prediction of microvascular invasion before curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Surgical procedures can cause tumor cells to disseminate into the circulatory system. Although this spread of metastatic cells will be limited by immune activity, immunosuppression tends to be the main effect resulting from surgery. The objective of this study is to assess hormonal and immunol...
