AFP and hepatocellular carcinoma: Chi-square test and Fisher exact test illustrated a significant correlation of CEP192 expression levels with pathologic stage (p = 0.008), tumor status (p < 0.001), sex (p = 0.008), age (p = 0.034), AFP expression (p = 0.038), DFS event (p < 0.001), and PFS event (p = 0.007) of HCC patients (Table 1).
