Figure 2. Recurrence-free survival curves (n = 105). (A) pStage; (B) NLR: lower group ≦ 2.1, higher group > 2.1; (C) CRP: lower group < 0.12(mg/dL), higher group ≥ 0.12(mg/dL); (D) SUVmax: lower group < 3.7, higher group ≥ 3.7; (E) CRP + v-factor: bottom group as CRP(+) + v(+), lower group as CRP(-) + v(+), upper group as CRP(+) + v(-), top group as CRP(-) + v(-) [CRP cut-off degree is same as C]; (F) SUVmax + v-factor: bottom group as SUVmax(+) + v(+), lower group as SUVmax(+) + v(-), upper group as SUVmax(-) + v(+), top group as SUVmax(-) + v(-) [SUVmax cuf-off degree is same as D]. NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; CRP: C-reactive protein; v: Microvascular invasion; SUVmax: Maximum standardized uptake value.
