In another group of HCC patients whose survival has been difficult to predict in the clinic, namely, those with tumor sizes smaller than 3 cm in diameter, the 5-year survival rate was 75% in the low LARP1 group, as opposed to 23% for patients exhibiting high LARP1 expression (P = 0.005, Figure 4A). The gene discussed is LARP1; the disease is neoplasm.
