VIM and hepatocellular carcinoma: Moreover, univariate Cox regression analysis indicated that microvascular invasion (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.162–5.277; P = 0.019), differentiation (95% CI 1.218–3.830; P = 0.008), TNM stage (95% CI 1.088–5.407; P = 0.030), CMTM6 expression (95% CI 0.997–5.906; P = 0.041), and vimentin expression (95% CI 1.007–5.005; P = 0.048) could predict OS in patients with HCC.
