Fig. 2From: Surgical resection significantly promotes the overall survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis Overall survival in patients with BCLC stage B and C disease. Surgical resection (SR) resulted in significantly higher overall survival (OS) rates than non-SR treatments in BCLC stage B (P < 0.05) (a). After propensity score matching (PSM), SR still had significantly higher OS rates than non-SR treatments in BCLC stage B (P < 0.05) (b). SR resulted in significantly higher OS rates than non-SR treatments in BCLC stage C (P < 0.05) (c). After PSM, SR still had significantly higher OS rates than non-SR treatments in BCLC stage C (P < 0.05) (d)Back to article page
