MKI67 and liver cancer: Finally, we also observed that the sample-wise prediction for the expression of MKI67 is predictive of a high BCLC stage, with an AUC of 0.80 for distinguishing stage C from stages A and B. Altogether, these results are consistent with the fact that a high expression level of MKI67 is correlated with the most advanced stages of liver cancer (Fig. 5d, e).
