Soluble FGFR4 level does not predict treatment outcomes. (a) Median progression-free survival rates for low and high levels of blood FGFR4 were 4.9 and 4.3 months, respectively. The boundary value of the low and high levels is the median of blood FGFR4. (c) The FGFR4 protein levels expressed on tumor cells did not correlate with the serum FGFR4 level. Each dot is a single case. (d) No correlation between serum FGFR4 and tumor markers. Each dot is a single case. (e) Correlation between serum FGFR4 and platelet counts, ALT, and FIB-4 in controls. Each dot is a single case. AFP, alpha-fetoprotein; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; DCP, des-gamma carboxyprothrombin; FGFR, fibroblast growth factor receptor; FIB-4, fibrosis-4 index.
