Univariate analysis revealed that albumin, prothrombin time, AFP level, Child-Pugh score, and lipiodol deposition in tumor were correlated with OS (Table 2), but when these five variables were included in the multivariate analysis (Table 3), the results showed that none of them was an independent prognostic factor for OS (P > 0.05). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and neoplasm.
