Table 4 Pathological tumor characteristics of whole and partial fluorescence patterns in the high cancerous group, and whole and ring patterns in high surrounding group ICG fluorescence of HCC
From: Evaluation of fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green in hepatocellular carcinoma
High cancerous group | Whole type (n = 68) | Partial type (n = 48) | P |
Tumor differentiation | 7/59/2 | 23/22/3 | <0.0001 |
(well/moderate/poor) | (10 %/87 %/3 %) | (48 %/46 %/6 %) | |
High surrounding group | Whole type (n = 37) | Ring type (n = 37) | |
Tumor differentiation | 8/29/0 | 8/23/6 | 0.0352 |
(well/moderate/poor) | (22 %/78 %/0) | (22 %/62 %/16 %) |
