Figure 1 Flow diagram for the study.
AR: Anatomic resection; MVI: Microvascular invasion; NAR: Non-anatomic resection.
Figure 2 The long-term outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma with different tumor diameters.
A: Kaplan-Meier analysis of the overall survival (OS) in microvascular invasion (MVI) positive and MVI negative patients with a tumor diameter 2-5 cm; B: In the group with a tumor diameter of 2-5 cm, Kaplan-Meier analysis of the OS in receiving MVI positive anatomic resection (AR) and non-anatomic resection (NAR) patients; C: In the group with a tumor diameter of 2-5 cm, Kaplan-Meier analysis of the OS in receiving AR and NAR patients with MVI negative. D: Kaplan-Meier analysis of the OS in MVI positive and MVI negative patients with a tumor diameter of less than 2 cm.

A: In the group with a tumor diameter of less than 2 cm, Kaplan-Meier analysis of the overall survival (OS) in receiving anatomic resection (AR) and non-anatomic resection (NAR) patients with microvascular invasion (MVI) positive; B: In the group with a tumor diameter of less than 2 cm, Kaplan-Meier analysis of the OS in patients receiving AR and NAR patients who were MVI negative; C: Kaplan-Meier analysis of the OS in MVI positive and MVI negative patients with tumor diameters larger than 5 cm; D: In the group with a tumor diameter of larger than 5 cm, Kaplan-Meier analysis of the OS in MVI positive patients receiving AR and NAR.
Figure 4 Kaplan-Meier analysis of the overall survival (A) and comparison of surgical margins in patients with different tumor diameters (B).
A: In the group with a tumor diameter larger than 5 cm, Kaplan-Meier analysis of the overall survival in microvascular invasion negative patients receiving anatomic resection (AR) and non-anatomic resection (NAR); B: Comparison of surgical margins in patients receiving AR and NAR with different tumor diameters.
