Continuous data are shown as mean±SE of mean, with median in parentheses. Categorical datasets have been analysed by Pearson’s χ2 tests, with p values for continuous data determined by t-test or Mann-Whitney U tests.
*p<0.05; **p<0.005.
ICC, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; OLTx, orthotopic liver transplantation; SIRT, selective internal radiation therapy; TACE, transarterial chemoembolisation; TNM, tumour-node-metastases.
