  1. aFor age, gender and size, P-values reflect comparison of fibrolamellar carcinoma with conventional hepatocellular carcinoma (with and without cirrhosis). For survival, P-value reflects comparison of fibrolamellar carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis (P-values for hepatocellular carcinoma without cirrhosis vs hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis were also the same). Numbers within parenthesis reflect percentages.
  2. bNumbers in some fibrolamellar carcinoma columns do not add to 20 as information was not available in all cases.
