To further explore the relationship between the prognosis and BAIAP2L2 expression in HCC, we performed a time-dependent ROC curve analysis, which showed that the accuracy of BAIAP2L2 in predicting the prognosis of patients with HCC decreased with increasing time (AUC: 1 year = 0.624; 2 years = 0.599; 3 years = 0.577, Fig. 2B). Here, BAIAP2L2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
