🔹 A had best OS (median not reached), lowest progression (25%), longest PFS (~11 mo).
🔸 B OS ~18 mo
🔸 C OS ~14 mo
Patterns held across BCLC stages + early hepatic decompensation risk.

🔹 A (47.5%) – older, higher BMI, good liver function, multiple small tumors.
🔹 B (11%) – VP1/2 PVI, more HBV, fewer metabolic features.
🔹 C (41.2%) – worse liver function, high AFP, VP3/4 PVI or large tumor burden.

⚠️ Prognostic implications
Biopsy uncovered 3% cholangiocarcinoma/hepatocholangiocarcinoma—linked to significantly shorter survival.
Also, macrotrabecular-massive HCC subtype had higher recurrence (P=0.037).

✅ Safety first
Biopsies done during RFA had a low complication rate:
🔹 Bleeding in only 1.9% of cases
🔹 No biopsy-related deaths
