Note: N1, N2, N3 and T1, T2, T3 represent adjacent non-tumor tissue and tumor tissue of P1, P2, P3 with poorly differentiated HCC, respectively. N4, N5, N6 and T4, T5, T6 represent adjacent non-tumor tissue and tumor tissue of M1, M2, M3 with moderately differentiated HCC, respectively. N7, N8, N9 and T7, T8, T9 represent adjacent non-tumor tissue and tumor tissue of W1, W2, W3 with well differentiated HCC, respectively. p value refers to T1, T2, T3 vs N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N9, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9 by t test.
