Tumor characteristics as a function of serum GGT levels, within low AFP (<100 IU/mL)

	GGT<30 IU/mL	GGT≥30–100 IU/mL	GGT>100 IU/mL
	Median (min.-max.)	Median (min.-max.)	Median (min.-max.)	p
MTD size	5 (1–16)	5 (1–24)	6 (0.8–20.5)	0.051
AFP	4.5 (1.2–98.1)^a	10 (0.5–99)^b	9.1 (0.5–95.9)^b	0.010
	%	%	%	p
Tumor # ≤ 2	78.4	68.1	51.5	0.005
Tumor # > 2	21.6	31.9	48.5	0.005
PVT (−)	83.3	83.8	67.0	0.009
PVT (+)	16.7	16.2	33.0	0.009

Superscript

groups are not different from each other, but are significantly different to superscript

groups. Abbreviations: GGT: Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase: (IU/mL); MTD: Maximum tumor diameter; AFP: Alpha-fetoprotein; PVT: Macroscopic portal vein thrombosis
