Figure 5 Prognostic value of pre-TACE serum Tim-3 in the low-AFP subgroup. (A) Kaplan-Meier curve analysis for progression, in the training set, when AFP-low patients were stratified into 2 subgroups according to serum Tim-3 levels. (B) Kaplan-Meier curve analysis for death, in the training set, when AFP-low patients were stratified into 2 subgroups according to serum Tim-3 levels. (C) Kaplan-Meier curve analysis for progression, in the validation set, when AFP-low patients were stratified into 2 subgroups according to serum Tim-3 levels. (D) Kaplan-Meier curve analysis for death, in the validation set, when AFP-low patients were stratified into 2 subgroups according to serum Tim-3 levels. Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted and log-rank tests were performed. AFP – alpha-fetoprotein; TACE – transcatheter arterial chemoembolization; Tim-3 – T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3.
