Figure 4 Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival by tumor size.
A: Among patients with tumors ≤ 2 cm, survival was better following hepatectomy (median survival time of 122 mo; 10-year survival rate of 58%) than following percutaneous ablation (median survival time of 76 mo; 10-year survival rate of 45%); B: among patients with tumors >2 cm, survival was better following hepatectomy (median survival time of 126 mo; 10-year survival rate of 51%) than following percutaneous ablation (median survival time of 26 mo; 10-year survival rate of 0%).
