A novel natural killer-related signature to effectively predict prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent tumor that poses a significant threat to human health, with 80% of cases being primary HCC. At present, Early diagnosis and predict prognosis of HCC is challenging and the it is characterized by a high degree of invasiveness, both of which negatively impact patient prognosis. Natural killer cells (NK) play an important role in the development, diagnosis and prognosis of malignant tumors. The potential of NK cell-related genes for evaluating the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma remains unexplored. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the association between NK cell-related genes and the prognosis of HCC patients, with the goal of developing a reliable model that can provide novel insights int
