| Group | Time | Cases | AFP(ng/mL) | AFP-L3(%) | CTCs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CR+PR | Before surgery | 69 | 172.44(67.93~612.09) | 15.36(13.87~16.37) | 2.30(1.95~2.61) |
| 3 months after surgery | 69 | 54.38(30.25~89.51)a | 6.68(4.92~8.15)a | 1.63(1.49~1.88)a | |
| SD+PD | Before surgery | 36 | 264.51(117.87~731.85)a | 18.53(16.20~19.26)a | 2.64(2.22~2.93)a |
| 3 months after surgery | 36 | 326.82(193.20~437.36)ab | 20.91(18.65~23.51)ab | 2.95(2.54~3.21)ab |
Note: Compared with CR + PR group before surgery, aP<0.05; compared with CR + PR group 3 months after surgery, bP<0.05
