Figure 1 Overall survival and recurrence-free survival of patients with F0 and F4 hepatocellular carcinoma.
A: Overall survival. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant difference in overall survival between F0 (nonfibrotic liver) and F4 (cirrhotic liver) hepatocellular carcinoma (P = 0.789); B: Recurrence-free survival. Recurrence was seen in 22 patients and 73 patients, respectively, in the F0 and F4 hepatocellular carcinoma groups, although recurrence-free survival was comparable between both groups based on the Kaplan-Meier curves (P = 0.116). HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
Figure 2 Comparison of overall survival based on recurrence status.
A: Among patients with F0 hepatocellular carcinoma, those with recurrence had significantly shorter overall survival (P = 0.001); B: Among patients with F4 hepatocellular carcinoma, overall survival was similar regardless of the presence of recurrence (P = 0.830).
