TACE: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization; DEB: Doxorubicin-eluting bead.
Figure 3 Recurrence-free survival probabilities according to the following.
A: Pre-transplant treatment type (log-rank P = 0.0493); B: Adherence to Milan Criteria at pathology (log-rank P < 0.0001); C: Percentage of necrosis in the cumulative tumor area (log-rank P = 0.0098); D: Pre-transplant serum α-fetoprotein level (log-rank P = 0.0008). TACE: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization; DEB: Doxorubicin-eluting bead; LT: Liver transplantation; CTA: Cumulative tumor area; c-TACE: Conventional TACE.
