CDC20 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Based on HCC data from gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) database, nine genes associated with progression and prognosis of HCC were screened, including ANLN, BIRC5, BUB1B, CDC20, CDCA5, CDK1, NCAPG, NEK2, and TOP2A. According to the Human Protein Atlas and the Oncomine database, these genes were highly upregulated in HCC tumor samples.
