The novel immune-related genes predict the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the main causes of cancer deaths globally. Immunotherapy is becoming increasingly important in the cure of advanced HCC. Thus it is essential to identify biomarkers for treatment response and prognosis prediction. We searched publicly available datab...
