The Kaplan-Meier plots for the cumulative incidence of recurrence in patients of (a) smaller tumor size (≦4.3 cm) and (b) lower AFP level (≦26.5 ng/mL); for metastasis in patients of (c) lower tumor grade (≦3), (d) microvascular invasion and (e) higher AFP level (> 26.5 ng/mL); for death in patients with (f) ascites and (g) lower albumin level (≦4.1 g/dL). Green: patients with the variant type “TT”; Blue: patients with the variant type “Non-TT”
