LRP1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Strikingly, the LRP1 mRNA expression in non-recurrent HCC tissues (without recurrence within 2 years after curative resection) was 0.12±0.0047, which was higher than that in the early recurrence group (recurrence within 2 years after resection, 0.051±0.0027, P = 0.016, Fig. 1C).
