Prevalence and clinical significance of regional lymphadenectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

摘要

Our study aims to explore regional lymphadenectomy rate and node‐positive rate, as well as their clinicopathological relevance and prognostic values in patients with HCC receiving liver resection (LR) and liver transplantation (LT).
