Subsequently, the multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that AFP ≥ 400 ng/ml, ECOG PS > 1, Child-Pugh grade B, and non-hemihepatic HCC (HCC located in both the left and right hemiliver) were independent risk predictors of OS for the treatment of EVBT combined with TACE in our study (Table 4). The gene discussed is AFP; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
