As presented in Table 1, high level of HOXA11-AS expression was significantly correlated with vascular invasion (p=0.000), cirrhosis (p=0.003), tumor size (p=0.002) and edmindson grade (p=0.000), but it had no significant correlation with sex, age, HbsAg, ALT and AFP (p>0.05). Here, HOXA11 is linked to Cirrhosis.
