Metastasis risk factors based on tumor staging parameters (size, number, infiltration, and vascular invasion) and serum AFP level were calculated as odds Results: AFP >400 mg/mL, index tumor size >5 cm, and vascular invasion individually had Conclusion: Serum AFP, tumor size, and vascular invasion are strongly associated with Keywords: hepatocellular carcinoma, risk factor, a-fetoprotein, stage, metastasis deaths in the USA1 and the fastest growing cancer in mortality.2 Treatment recommendation depends on the patient's clinical status (eg, liver function and performance If validated, such criteria may allow rapid metastasis risk stratification at the time of diagnostic imaging and tumor size, number, AFP, infiltration, and vascular invasion tumor size, number, AFP, infiltration, and vascular invasion metastasis risk factors and included AFP, tumor size, number, vascular invasion, and infiltrative morphology. This retrospective study validated that tumor staging parameters are associated with metastasis risk in patients with new ./cache/work_i6apjikwh5eohfioslitsj6vem.pdf ./txt/work_i6apjikwh5eohfioslitsj6vem.txt
