Core Tip	This study compared the recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical resection of HCC in patients treated with entecavir (ETV) or tenofovir fumarate (TDF) after propensity score matching. Results revealed that HCC recurrence was observed in 33 (66.0%) patients in the ETV group and 21 (42.0%) in the TDF group, and the risk for HCC recurrence was lower in the TDF group than in the ETV group (P = 0.016). The cumulative recurrence rates of HCC at 1, 3, and 5 years in the ETV and TDF groups were 26.0%, 58.0%, and 66.0%, and 18.0%, 38.0%, and 42.0%, respectively (P = 0.045).
