Since biological information mining found that YAP and GLUT1 might display a good predictive function in predicting the prognosis of liver cancer patients (Additional file 9: Fig. S9A-D), to further substantiate the survival significance of YAP and GLUT1, the correlation between YAP/GLUT1 high expression and clinical features of liver cancer patients was analyzed in above 53 clinical cases. Here, YAP1 is linked to liver cancer.
