Prognostic impact of lactic dehydrogenase to albumin ratio in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with Child–Pugh I who underwent curative resection: a prognostic nomogram study

Here, we describe an accurate and easy-to-use prognostic index for patients with HCC who have undergone curative resection.
