From: The role of muscle depletion and visceral adiposity in HCC patients aged 65 and over undergoing TACE
Kaplan-Meier analysis for survival in geriatric HCC patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis for survival in geriatric HCC patients treated with TACE (A) according to the BCLC and that according to MDVA in each stage; (B) stage 0, (C) stage A, and (D) stage B. Life expectancy was different depending on the cancer stage; patients with BCLC stage 0 had the longest survival expectancy. In BCLC stages A and B, MDVA was important for survival. BCLC, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; MDVA, muscle depletion with visceral adiposity; TACE, trans-arterial chemoembolization.
