Figure 3 Level of transforming growth factor-β and transforming growth factor-β+ regulatory cells affect 5-year survival for hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
The 5-year survival rates for HCC patients with a high and low level of TGF-β (A), and TGF-β+ Treg cells (B) in their PBMCs. The survival rates were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method (log-rank test). TGF-β: Transforming growth factor-β; Treg: Regulatory cells; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
