Prognostic Impact of Cirrhosis in Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma following Hepatic Resection

Figure 2

Survival curves of the patients according to the presence of HBV infection and cirrhosis. Shown are the survival curves of the HBV-associated cirrhotic patients (Group 1), HBV-associated noncirrhotic patients (Group 2), HBV-negative cirrhotic patients (Group 3), and HBV-negative noncirrhotic patients (Group 4) on the OS (Panel (a)) and RFS (Panel (b)). The curves demonstrated no significant between-group differences except for Group 2 and Group 4 in the RFS (). The most favorable prognosis was found in Group 2 (1-yr OS, 66.7%; 5-yr OS, 16.7%; median survival for OS, 37 months; 1-yr RFS, 55.6%; 5-yr RFS, 16.7%; median survival for RFS, 24 months) and Group 4 showed the worst prognosis (1-yr OS, 44.4%; 5-yr OS, 11.1%; median survival for OS, 10.5 months; 1-yr RFS, 29.6%; 5-yr RFS, 10.4%; median survival for RFS, 3 months).
