Figure 4 Influence of IFN therapy after curative treatment of HCC on Child-Pugh scores. IFN-treated patients were less likely to show deterioration of hepatic function. In particular, liver function scores in the SVR group were significantly better preserved than in the non-IFN group (P = 0.003). Median observation time was 59.8 mo in the SVR group, 45 mo in the non-SVR group, and 51.8 mo in the non-IFN group.
