<i>Wnt-1</i> Protein as a Prognostic Biomarker for Hepatitis B–Related and Hepatitis C–Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Surgery

Abstract

These results suggest that Wnt-1 may be used as a predisposing risk factor for HCC recurrence. The use of tumor Wnt-1 as prognostic biomarker may identify patients with HBV- and/or HCV-related HCC patients with a high risk of tumor recurrence who may then benefit from further intensive therapy after surgery.
