Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index Versus Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio for Prediction of Post Radiofrequency Ablation Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Abstract:Background & Aims:Tumor recurrence after curative radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common. The burden of frequent post-ablation investigations especially triphasic computerized tomography (TCT) is high. We investigated whether post ablation measurement of aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as simple and cheap biomarkers can precisely predict HCC recurrence and which of them is more valuable. Methods: In this retro… Show more
