On univariable analyses, intrahepatic spread (p<0.007), tumor size >5cm (p<0.001), AFP>400 ng/ml (p<0.001), CTP class (p=0.008), radiologic response post-TACE (p=0.002), CLIP (p<0.001), HAP (p<0.001) and ART score (p=0.002) emerged as significant predictors of OS in the training set (Table 3). Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
