In the article ‘Tumor Radiomic Features on Pretreatment MRI to Predict Response to Lenvatinib plus an Anti-PD-1 Antibody in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Multicenter Study’ [Liver Cancer. 2023;12(3):262–276. https://doi.org/10.1159/000528034] by Xu et al., after publication, the authors found an error in Table 3, which represents the performance of the clinicopathologic-radiomic model on the validation cohort. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) with its 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was incorrectly listed in Table 3 as ‘0.876 (0.750–1.000)’, while the correct value should be listed as ‘0.884 (0.762–1.000).’
The corrected Table 3 is shown here.
