Tumor size, multiple tumors, non-enhancing capsule, nodule-in-nodule architecture, corona enhancement, fat sparing in solid mass, tumor in vein, peritumoral hypointensity on HBP, satellite nodule, serum AFP level > 400 ng/mL, and BCLC stage were identified as significant predictors of early recurrence at univariate analysis. Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
