MACC1 as a prognostic biomarker for early-stage and AFP-normal hepatocellular carcinoma.
<h4>Background</h4>The metastasis-associated in colon cancer 1 gene (MACC1) has been found to be associated with cancer development and progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of MACC1 in early-stage and AFP-normal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).<h4&...
