CENPM and hepatocellular carcinoma: CENPM expression in HCC as appreciably connected with grade (OR = 1.76; 95% CI 0.94–3.42, G1 vs. G3), stage (OR = 1.96; 95% CI 1.16–3.32, I vs. III) and T-classification (OR = 2.04; 95% CI 1.24–3.40, T1 vs. T3) indicated that patients with low CENPM expression are inclined to advance to a further advanced stage than those with high CENPM expression.
