AFP and neoplasm: When compared with those in reference group, there was a significantly higher risk of recurrence in patients with higher serum AFP (P = 1.8 × 10-4), larger tumor size (P = 3.2 × 10-4), multiple tumors (P = 5.1 × 10-5), poor differentiated tumors (P = 3.3 × 10-6), advanced TNM stages (P = 9.9 × 10-7) and BCLC stages (P = 6.5 × 10-8), and port vein tumor thrombus (P = 1.5 × 10-5).
