Histological architectural classification determines recurrence pattern and prognosis after curative hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
Fig 3
Recurrence pattern based on pathological subtypes.
A. Recurrence patterns of Micro-T/PG subtype versus Macro-T/C subtype after curative surgery are shown. B. Among 45 patients who showed recurrence after curative surgery in Macro-C subtypes, 26 patients (32% of all) showed the recurrence within 1 year leading to extremely poor 5-year survival.
