VEGFA and hepatocellular carcinoma: As analyzed by multivariate regression of COX, the diameter and number of tumors (P = 0.016), the tumor encapsulation (P = 0.022), the vascular invasion (P = 0.009), the TNM stage (P = 0.036), and the positive expression of VEGF (P = 0.005) in HCC were associated with the HCC recurrence after OLT.
