About this trial

This observational study aims to validate a deep learning model for predicting aggressive recurrence patterns in patients with early-stage liver cancer (HCC) after surgery.

The main question it aims to answer is: Can the AI model accurately identify patients at high risk of cancer recurrence within 2 years after surgery? Participants will provide clinical data and undergo standard surgery, followed by 2-year imaging surveillance. Their data will be used for both AI prediction and validation of recurrence patterns.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Aged 18-75 years, regardless of gender.

Disqualifiers

Concurrent other malignancies (except cured non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ).

Postoperative pathology confirms non-HCC diagnosis.

Pregnant or lactating women.

History of organ transplantation.
