Figure 3. The level of 5 hmC in non-tumor tissues was associated with HCC recurrence in the first year.

Figure 3

(A and B) Level of 5 hmC was analyzed in non-tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry. Representative photomicrographs showed negative (–), weak (+), moderate (++) and strong (+++) staining in HCC non-tumor tissues (A). Various levels of 5 hmC in 146 HCC patients were summarized (n = number of cases) (B). (C) Various levels of 5 hmC in 75 cases of HCC patients with recurrence at the first year were summarized (n = number of cases). (D) Kaplan-Meier curve for overall survival was compared according to 5 hmC expression in non-tumor tissues.
