  Multivariate analysis of HCC recurrence (n = 64 ^† )

	Hazard ratio	95% confidence interval	P‐values
LOH on 10q (+)	5.06	1.566–16.33	0.0067*
Tumor number = 4	7.45	1.858–29.92	0.0046*
Grade 3	3.21	1.008–10.19	0.0480*
AFP = 400 ng/mL	3.10	1.04–9.26	0.0420*
LOH on 3p (+)	2.23	0.728–6.85	0.1600

^* P < 0.05.

^† Of the 80 patients 16 patients were excluded for multivariate analysis because either of 10q or 3p was non‐informative.

AFP, alpha‐fetoprotein; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; LOH, loss of heterozygosity.
