Association between the different clinicopathological variables and the Met⁺ and Met^– HCC subsets defined by hierarchical cluster analysis of the LEC samples. Kaplan-Meier plot (A) and log-rank statistics demonstrate the difference in the overall survival between HCC patients from the Met⁺ and from the Met^– groups. (B and C) Bar graphs represent vascular invasion rate (B) and average MVD (C) in HCC samples from Met⁺ and Met^– sets. MVD was determined by quantitative analysis of CD34⁺ vascular features. (D and E) Microscope images show CD34 staining of endothelial cells in representative samples from Met⁺ (D) and Met^– (E) tumor sets. Pictures were taken with ×200 original magnification.
