INTS8 and neoplasm: We found that stage (P = 0.050), tumour status (P = 0.001), DNASE1L3 expression (P = 0.042), and INTS8 expression (P = 0.023) were independent risk prognostic factors for OS in HCC patients, although no gene was found to be an independent prognostic factor for DFS (data not shown).
