Figure 2

The risks for extrahepatic metastases according to serum levels of PIVKA-II were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Risk of extrahepatic metastases was significantly higher for patients with a serum PIVKA-II level ≥ 300 mAU/mL than for those with PIVKA-II level < 300 mAU/mL among patients with stage I (a, P < 0.001), II (b, P = 0.004), and III (c, P = 0.020) HCC according to AJCC tumor stages and stage A (d, P < 0.001), B (e, P = 0.216) and C (f, P = 0.037) according to BCLC tumor stages.
