AFP and neoplasm: Higher PAB correlated with favorable features: earlier BCLC stage (OR = 2.23), better Child-Pugh class (OR = 5.36), absence of vascular invasion (OR = 0.44) or extrahepatic metastasis (OR = 0.22), smaller tumor size (OR = 0.51), single tumor (OR = 1.39), and lower AFP (OR = 0.56) (all P<0.05 except single tumor P = 0.020 and AFP P = 0.006).
