According to the findings, the tumour size is 60 mm or approximately 10 cm (HR: 1.952, 95% confidence interval: 1.213–3.143, P < 0.05), hepatitis B position (HR:2.323,95% confidence interval:1.095–4.924, P=0.029), TACE times (1ornumerous) (HR:1.867,95% confidence interval:1.156–3.013, P=0.011), AFP level (ng/ml) (>400–500 ng/ml). Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
