Correlation of CAF density with prognosis in HCC. (A) CAFs were abundant in the tumor stroma but scarce in normal tissue. We categorized the HCC tissues into three subgroups with high, moderate, and low CAF density (original magnification, 100 ×). (B and C) Kaplan-Meier estimation of overall survival and progression-free survival according to the density of H-CAFs in HCC patients. (D) Tumor volume and (E) preoperative ALT level from HCC patients were also tested.
