	abstract = {Background: To identify the impact of tumor number on Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the impact of microvascular invasion (MVI) on multinodular HCC (MHCC).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,548 patients who had early-stage HCC [solitary HCC (SHCC, n=1,481) and MHCC (n=67)], according to the BCLC classification, after curative resection. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance potential confounding factors.
Results: Both before and after PSM, significant differences were noted between the MHCC group and the SHCC group in RFS but not in OS. For the PSM cohort, the 5-year RFS rates were 7.5% and 41.2% for the MVI-positive MHCC group and the SHCC group, respectively (P},
