AFP and neoplasm: The baseline characteristics (age, gender, Child-Pugh score, differentiation, cirrhosis, HBsAg status, operative time, total blood loss, AFP, ALT, AST, TBIL, and operative procedure) were balanced between the recurrence group and the nonrecurrence group, excepting that the maximum tumor size of the recurrence group was bigger than the nonrecurrence group (8.1 ± 3.9 versus 5.5 ± 3.2; p < 0.001), and MVI was more common in the recurrence group.
