Early prediction of survival in hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization plus sorafenib

Figure 1 Flow diagram shows the selection of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; RFA: Radiofrequency ablation; LR: Liver resection; LT: Liver transplantation; TACE: Transarterial chemoembolization.

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curves of overall survival. A: Comparison of the survival between patients who had previous TACE (Yes group) and patients who had no previous TACE (No group); B: Comparison of the survival between patients who had portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) (Yes group) and patients who had no PVTT (No group); C: Comparison of the survival between patients who had early disease control (Yes group) and patients who had no early disease control (No group); D: Comparison of the survival among patients with different types of PVTT: the absence of PVTT (No group), PVTT in the main portal vein (main portal vein group) and PVTT in the portal vein branch (portal vein branch group).
