In the present study, several common risk factors for HCC recurrence showed no significant difference between obese and non‐obese patients, including liver‐related factors3, 4 (albumin, ALT, T‐Bil, and liver cirrhosis) and tumor‐related factors23, 25 (AFP, microscopic vascular invasion, and tumor size). The gene discussed is AFP; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
