As summarized in Table 1, analyzing of 196 primary HCC samples indicated that FLOT1 expression was strongly correlated with tumor size (P = 0.025), clinical stage (P<0.002), CLIP stage (P<0.001), vascular invasion (P<0.001), relapse (P<0.001), and serum AFP levels (P = 0.025). Here, AFP is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
