(A) Correlation between pre-operative imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) maximum diameter and HCC number in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipients (22 cases). This figure expresses the correlation between some eligibility criteria of liver transplantation (LT) for HCC with maximum tumor diameter, tumor number, microvascular invasion and proliferation of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)-positive cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). All 12 cases within Up-to-seven (Up-to-7) criteria survived without HCC recurrence. In above Up-to-7 criteria, only one case survived without HCC recurrence, and all other 9 cases presented HCC recurrence. (B) Correlation between pathological HCC maximum diameter and HCC number in LDLT recipients (22 cases). This figure expresses the correlation between some eligibility criteria of LT for HCC with maximum tumor diameter, tumor number, microvascular invasion and proliferation of α-SMA-positive CAFs. All 9 cases within Up-to-7 criteria survived without HCC recurrence. In above Up-to-7 criteria, all 4 cases that survived without HCC recurrence had no proliferation of α-SMA-positive CAF.
