ALB and hepatocellular carcinoma: Tumor size, TNM stage, serum albumin, and ALRI were identified as independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS by univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses mentioned above, and were utilized to construct novel nomograms to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS as well as 1-, 3-, and 5-year DFS for post-operative HCC patients (Figures 3 and S2).
