Table 2.
More Necrosis Was Observed in C/EBPα-Absent Primary HCC Tissues
| Tumor Necrosis | C/EBPα in Tumor | |
|---|---|---|
| Absent | Present | |
| Tumor Size ≤1.5 cm (P = 0.023) | ||
| No | 0 | 6 |
| Yes | 2 (100%) | 1 (14.3%) |
| Tumor Size ≤3.0 cm (P = 0.058) | ||
| No | 3 | 34 |
| Yes | 4 (57.1%) | 10 (22.7%) |
| Tumor Size ≤5.0 cm (P = 0.277) | ||
| No | 7 | 56 |
| Yes | 7 (50.0%) | 30 (34.9%) |
We compared the percentage of necrosis found between HCC tumors with and without C/EBPα. The statistical difference was determined by Pearson's chi-squared analysis. The number of cases involved and P values are indicated.
