Figure 1.
Patients with HCC recurrence had advanced tumour characteristics and a higher proportion of preoperative HBV DNA detectable than those with no recurrence. (A) Patients with HCC recurrence had higher AFP concentrations than patients who did not experience recurrence (p<.001). (B) Patients with HCC recurrence had greater tumour numbers compared with patients who did not experience recurrence (p=.034). (C) Patients with HCC recurrence had a longer total tumour diameter than patients without recurrence (p<.001). (D) In patients with HCC recurrence, 54.2% (n = 13) patients had preoperative detectable HBV DNA and 45.8% (n = 11) had undetectable HBV DNA. Patients with HCC recurrence had a higher proportion of preoperative detectable HBV DNA than patients without recurrence (p=.036).
