Age ≥ 60 years (hazard ratios 3.17–10.1 vs < 50 years), > 2 comorbidities (1.41 vs ≤ 2), acute myeloid leukemia (2.22 vs non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and active antineoplastic treatment with monoclonal antibodies (2·02) were associated with increased mortality; conventional chemotherapy showed borderline significance (1.50 vs no active therapy).
However, in contrast to a recent investigation in anal carcinoma treated with definitive RCT ( 22 ), we did neither recognize a significant correlation of p16 INK4a with PLK3 and a borderline significance with pT273 Caspase 8 expression ( Table 2 ), nor did we observe a significant impact of PLK3 and pT273 Caspase 8 detection on the incidence of local failure ( Figures 2 , 3 ).
Correlations between HTATIP2 expression/microvessel density and clinicopathological features As shown in Table 2 of cohort 1, patients with a low intratumoral HTATIP2 expression or a high MVD were prone to exhibit large tumor size, high serum α-fetoprotein concentration, high tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (borderline significance for HTATIP2), and the presence of intrahepatic metastasis and microvascular invasion.
On multivariate analysis, we found that age at diagnosis, sex, tumor differentiation grade, lymph node metastases, and surgical treatment were independent risk factors for prognosis ( P < .05, Table 2 ), whereas both tumor size ( P = .064) and marital status ( P = .051) had borderline significance (Table 2 ). 3.3.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy In contrast to other solid malignancies, chemotherapy plays a limited role in the treatment of advanced HCC, except that oxaliplatin plus fluorouracil/leucovorin (FOLFOX4 regimen) was found to prolong patient survival with borderline significance compared with doxorubicin. 45 As summarized in Table 1 , chemotherapy with capecitabine, tegafur/uracil, or epirubicin plus carmofur were investigated as adjuvant treatment; however, all of them failed to prolong patient survival and only capecitabine was found to prolong patient RFS.
