Gastric cancer surgery for patients with liver cirrhosis

Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier estimates of 25 gastric cancer (GC) patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). A: Overall survival was not significantly different between early and advanced GC patients (overall 5-year survival rates: 58.9% and 33.3% respectively; P = 0.230); B: GC-specific survival was significantly higher in early GC patients than in advanced GC patients (5-year survival rates: 90.0% and 58.3% respectively; P = 0.010); C: Overall survival using the Child-Pugh classification. The overall 5-year survival rate of grade A patients was 60.0% and those of grade B patients was 30.5% (P = 0.089).
