Fifty\u2010one patients were diagnosed with HBV\u2010related cirrhosis. The tumor characteristics varied: 47 patients had single lesions with diameters ranging from 8 to 57\u2009mm. Following the MWA procedure, there was a notable rise in the levels of alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin, prothrombin time, and the Child\u2013Pugh, albumin\u2013bilirubin, and model for end\u2010stage liver disease scores (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05). Analysis of survival data indicated that tumor diameter &lt; 3\u2009cm, complete response (CR), meeting the Milan criteria, and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage 0\u2010A were linked to a more favorable prognosis.
