Relationship between histological morphology and prognosis
| Index | Tumor cell atypia | Nuclear division (/50HPF) | Ki-67 | Metastasis | Treatment | Prognosis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | No | No | 5% | No | Artery embolization | No relapse in 3 years |
| 2 | No | No | 5% | No | Liver transplantation | No relapse in 3 years |
| 3 | No | No | 1% | No | Artery embolization | No relapse in 5 years |
| 4 | Visible tumor giant cells | No | 5% | No | Liver transplantation | No relapse in 26 months |
| 5 | Visible tumor giant cells | 1 | 40% | No | Artery embolization | Died in 6 months |
| 6 | No | 3 | 15% | Yes | Artery embolization | Died in 20 months |
| 7 | Visible tumor giant cells | No | 15% | No | Artery embolization | Survived after 8-month treatment |
| 8 | No | No | 5% | No | Resection + Artery embolization | Survived with the tumor for 4 years |
