Fig. 6From: The study of direct and indirect effects of radiofrequency ablation on tumor microenvironment in liver tumor animal modelEffect of c-Met inhibitor in the tumor after RFA. A The tumor grew slower in the RFA + PHA group than the RFA group (P = 0.02). * P < 0.05. B During the period of follow-up, there were no obvious difference in the bodyweight change after treatment in the two experimental groups (P = 0.09). C Assessment of c-Met, HIF-α, Ki-67 and CD31 (brown) staining on pathologic findings obtained at 7 days after RFA in different groups. The expression decreased in the RFA + PHA group compared to the RFA group. **P < 0.001. The representative microphotographs were under 200 × magnification (C)Back to article page
