Finally, NLR [hazard ratio (HR), 1.705; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.467–6.232; P = 0.022], AFP (HR, 1.012; 95% CI, 1.003–1.021; P =.007), tumor size (HR, 1.025; 95% CI, 0.989–1.062; P = 0.028), and tumor number (HR, 2.738; 95% CI, 1.151–6.515; P = 0.008) were identified to be independent predictive indicators of MVI. Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
