Number of tumors (hazard ratio (HR) 4.44; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.26–15.7; p = 0.021) and α-fetoprotein level (AFP; HR 11.40; 95% CI 2.75–46.9; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the tumor response. Albumin (≥3.4 g/dL) (HR 0.28; 95% CI 0.12–0.63; p = 0.002) and overall response (CR + PR) (HR 0.33; 95% CI 0.16–0.71; p = 0.004) were significantly associated with the OS. Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
