AFP and neoplasm: Based on multivariate analysis, AFP (p = 0.024, HR = 1.689, 95% CI = 1.072–2.661), tumor number (p = 0.002, HR = 2.021, 95% CI = 1.301–3.138), tumor size (p = 0.028, HR = 1.627, 95% CI = 1.027–2.576), MVI (p = 0.013, HR = 1.751, 95% CI = 1.127–2.721), and differentiation (p = 0.028, HR = 1.657, 95% CI = 1.055–2.600) showed a strong connection to RFS in the training cohort.
