Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts from Hepatocellular Carcinoma Promote Malignant Cell Proliferation by HGF Secretion
Figure 6
The abundance of H-CAFs positively correlated with tumor volume in human HCC samples.
(A) The abundance of H-CAFs was dichotomized into two levels, high density and low density. (B) Tumor volumes of the high-density group (n = 27) were significantly higher than tumor volumes of the low-density group (n = 16, P = 0.006).
