SLC2A1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Univariate analysis of GLUT1/ASCT2 status and conventional clinicopathologic parameters for prognosis showed that high expression of GLUT1, high expression of ASCT2, high α-fetoprotein level, high alanine aminotransferase level, large tumor size, multiple tumor number, satellite nodule, incomplete tumor capsule, poor tumor differentiation, and vascular invasion were unfavorable predictors for OS of HCC patients (Table 3).
