A novel risk-stratification model for statistical cure after hepatectomy in hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) reveals an overall cure probability of 21.2%. The study identified eight independent risk factors, including high viral load and macrovascular invasion, that significantly influence outcomes. Low-risk patients achieved a 30.3% initial cure rate, with a remarkable 95% probability of cure at 8.6 years, contrasting sharply with negligible probabilities in high-risk individuals.
