TXNDC9 and neoplasm: Univariate Cox regression analysis indicated that multiple tumors (p = 0.014), tumor size > 5 cm (p = 0.008), portal vein invasion (p = 0.007), poor tumor differentiation (p = 0.018), TNM stage III–IV (p = 0.001), and positive TXNDC9 expression (p = 0.011) were predictors for a lower OS (Table 2).
