Abstract: Vessels encapsulating tumor clusters (VETC) is a novel vascular pattern distinct from microvascular invasion that is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to predict the VETC pattern and prognosis of patients with HCC based on preoperative gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
