GPT and neoplasm: Surgery type (extend liver resection vs. minor liver resection: hazard ratio(HR) 1.728, 95% confidence interval(CI):1.066–1.728, p = 0.027), satellite lesions(HR 2.428, 95% CI: 1.663–3.544, p < 0.001), tumor size (HR 1.108, 95% CI: 1.059–1.159, p < 0.001), and serum ALT level (HR 1.007, 95% CI: 1.004–1.010, p < 0.001) were all statistically significant independent factors associated with survival in MVI-positive group.
