Increased SSR2 expression in HCC is positively associated with T stage (OR = 1.889 for T2 & T3 & T4 vs. T1, p = 0.003), histological grade (OR = 2.669 for G3 & G4 vs. G1 & G2, p < 0.001) and vascular invasion (OR = 2.314 for Yes vs. No, p < 0.001). The gene discussed is SSR2; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
