Figure 2. The effect of anti-viral therapy on post-operative prognosis stratified by tumor stage.

Figure 2

Among patients with early stage HCC, those who received anti-viral therapy after resection had higher overall survival rate (A, BCLC stage A, p = 0.001; B, BCLC stage B, p<0.001) and lower recurrence rate (C, BCLC stage A, p = 0.045; D, BCLC stage B, p = 0.009) than their counterpart. For patients with BCLC stage C HCC, the overall survival rate were comparable between those with and without antiviral therapy (E, p = 0.158); but patients receiving anti-viral therapy after resection had a trend of lower recurrence rate than those who did not receive anti-viral therapy (F, p = 0.065).
