FIGURE 2. Comparison of disease-free survival rates between primary and 2nd hepatic resections, calculated from the primary and 2nd hepatectomies. There was no significant difference (P = 0.06; log-rank test).

FIGURE 1. Comparison of overall survival rates between primary and 2nd hepatic resections, calculated from the primary and 2nd hepatectomies. There was no significant difference (P = 0.64; log-rank test).

FIGURE 3. Comparison of survival after the 2nd resection between 29 patients with all 3 favorable prognostic factors (thick line) and 38 who lacked at least 1 of these factors (broken line). The median survival time in the former group (5.5 years) (95% confidence interval, 4.9–6.1) was significantly longer than that in the latter (3.4 years) (95% confidence interval, 2.6–4.3) (log-rank test; P < 0.01).
