The corresponding HRs for intervention, tumor number, tumor diameter, and serum AFP were 1.933 (95% CI: 1.340–1.789, p < 0.001), 3.903 (95% CI: 2.819–5.404, p < 0.001), 1.411 (95% CI: 1.132–1.759, p = 0.002), and 1.474 (95% CI: 1.023–2.126, p = 0.038), respectively. Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
