PCNT and hepatocellular carcinoma: In addition, consistent with the prognostic role of PCNT mRNA, multivariate regression analysis suggested that high PCNT protein level was an independent risk factor for OS (P = 0.025, HR (95% CI): 1.201 (1.024–1.409)) and RFS (P = 0.016, HR (95% CI): 1.192 (1.033–1.376)) of HCC patients (Table 4).
