Prognostic roles of preoperative α-fetoprotein and des-γ-carboxy prothrombin in hepatocellular carcinoma patients

Figure 2 Interactive dot diagrams. A: Interactive dot diagrams showing α-fetoprotein levels were used to predict recurrence within 2 years after hepatectomy among hepatocellular carcinoma patients with hepatitis B infection; B: Interactive dot diagrams showing des-γ-carboxy prothrombin levels were used to predict recurrence within 2 years after hepatectomy among hepatocellular carcinoma patients with hepatitis B infection. The horizontal line indicates the cutoff point with the best separation (minimal false-negative and false-positive results) between the two subgroups.
