Brief Title: Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) as a Predictor of HCC Recurrence After Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Official Title: Magnetic Resonance Elastography Score Reflecting Hepatic Fibrosis as an Independent Predictor for Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Radiofrequency Ablation Therapy
Study ID: NCT01447667
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine: * The efficacy of MRE score as a predictor of HCC recurrence within 2 years after RFA treatment * The efficacy of each indicator (MRE score, non-invasive serum markers) compared to the gold-standard histology score predicting hepatic fibrosis
Detailed Description: To evaluate whether MRE score reflecting hepatic fibrosis can predict the recurrence of HCC within 2 years after RFA treatment * Local recurrence/intrahepatic distant recurrence * Multivariable analysis including several related factors to find whether MRE score is an independent predictor of HCC recurrence even after adjusting other factors (etiology of liver disease, size of HCC, vessel invasion, HBsAg titer, etc.) To find the efficacy of each indicator (MRE score, non-invasive serum markers) compared to the gold-standard histology score predicting hepatic fibrosis.
