Also, since the patients with MPM-BC ≤ 0.45 and AFP > 20 ng/mL exhibited a relatively higher 5-year survival rate than that of the patients with MPM-BC > 0.45 and AFP ≤ 20 ng/mL as shown in Figure 6D, it showed greater prognostic potential of MPM-BC for HCC patients. This evidence concerns the gene AFP and hepatocellular carcinoma.
