(A) Hepatocellular carcinoma showing expression of K19, EpCAM, CD133, CAIX and VEGF in tumoral epithelial cells and expression of α-SMA and FAP in tumoral stromal cells in matched biopsied and resected HCC without preoperative TACE. The photos of H-E, K19, EpCAM, CAIX and VEGF were taken from case number 1, those of CD133 and α-SMA were taken from case number 13, and those of FAP were taken from case number 18. (B) A summary of the immunoprofiles in the matched preoperative biopsied and resected HCCs without preoperative TACE. The cases with high expression, low expression, and negative expression are indicated by black, gray and white boxes, respectively.
