Meanwhile, by combining with corresponding clinicopathological features of HCC patients, the research further noted that KIF2A expression was also closely connected with performance status (PS) score, tumor nodule number, tumor dimension, BCLC stage, as well as laboratory indices like AST, AFP, and CA199, implying the intrinsic worth of KIF2A in diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of HCC patients [120]. This evidence concerns the gene AFP and hepatocellular carcinoma.
