AFP and neoplasm: All these significant predictors were included in multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, and the results showed that AST (HR = 1.975, 95%CI: 1.045–3.732, p = 0.036), tumor capsule (HR = 0.422, 95%CI: 0.198–0.900, p = 0.026), rim enhancement (HR = 2.819, 95%CI: 1.267–6.273, p = 0.011), and TTPVI (HR = 11.665, 5%CI: 3.978–34.203, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of early recurrence for AFP-NHCC patients (Table 3).
