FUT1 and neoplasm: As shown in Table 3 in addition to age ≥55, tumor ≥5 cm and vascular invasion, the expression levels FUT1 and B3GALT5 combined were independent risk factors for both RFS (HR: 2.370, 95% CI: 1.505–3.731, P < 0.001) and OS (HR: 2.153, 95% CI: 1.188–3.902, P = 0.012) in patients with HCC.
