Evaluating the best treatment for multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma: A propensity score-matched analysis

Figure 3 Kaplan–Meier curves of overall and disease-free survival comparing the results of the different treatment modalities for patients stratified by different parameters (n = 30). A: Stratification by alpha-fetoprotein levels, lower or higher than 400 ng/mL [overall survival (OS): P < 0.0001 and disease-free survival (DFS): P = 0.0001]; B: Stratification by the Up-to-7 criteria, in or out (OS: P = 0.612 and DFS: P =0.002); C: Stratification by the ITA.LI.CA classification (OS: P = 0.047 and DFS: P = 0.001); D: Stratification by the number of lesions, 2 lesions or more than 3 lesions (OS: P = 0.310 and DFS: P = 0.001); E: Stratification by the maximum diameter of the lesion, smaller or bigger than 41 mm (OS: P = 0.215 and DFS: P = 0.001). Median survival is expressed as months and 95% confidence interval. OS: Overall survival; DFS: Disease-free survival; AFP: Alpha-fetoprotein; N.E.: Not Evaluable; TACE: Trans-Arterial ChemoEmbolization.
