Moreover, we found that FGFR4 had no significant correlation with other prognostic factors such as HBV and HCV infections, Child-Pugh grade, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis (p > 0.05); these results were identical to those of the study by Chen et al [39]. This evidence concerns the gene FGFR4 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
