HCC (n=102) |
S1: portal area fibrosis expand, and confined in the hepatic sinus and lobule (n=8); S2: fibrosis around portal area, fibrous septums form, lobule structure keep (n=19); S3: fibrous septums and lobule structure disorder, without cirrhosis (n=27); S4: early stage cirrhosis (n=48). HCC indicates hepatocellular carcinoma. n=number. P value for comparison between the controls and HCC sets.
