Kaplan–Meier survival analysis displayed that high level of Bim in HCC cases was associated with longer overall survival (Figure 6C, P = 0.002), but not with disease-free survival (Supplementary Figure 3A, P = 0.981) and recurrence-free survival (Supplementary Figure 3B; P = 0.399). Here, BCL2L11 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
