When the variables that were found to be meaningful in univariate analysis were combined in multivariate analysis, CAPS1 expression in tumor tissue remained as independent prognostic factors in HCC patients for both OS (p = 0.010, hazard ratio (HR), 0.209) and TTR (p = 0.007, HR, 0.324) (Table 3). The gene discussed is CAPS; the disease is neoplasm.
