Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence following curative-intent primary liver resection.
The Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrates recurrence-free survival stratified by the number of pre-operative risk factors present: Cirrhosis, albumin-bilirubin grade ≥ 2, and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage B or C. Increasing numbers of these risk factors were associated with progressively lower recurrence-free survival following curative-intent resection. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
