Abstract
This paper highlights the innovative approach and findings of the recently published study by Xu et al, which underscores the integration of radiomics and clinicoradiological factors to enhance the preoperative prediction of microvascular invasion in patients with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC). The study's use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography radiomics to construct predictive models offers a significant advancement in the surgical planning and management of HBV-HCC, potentially transforming patient outcomes through more personalized treatment strategies. This editorial commends the study's contribution to precision medicine and discusses its implications for future research and clinical practice.
