Figure 5. Associations between clinicopathological features and Hsp27 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
(A) Hsp27 expression was stronger in HCC than in normal liver tissue. Poorly and moderately differentiated HCC expressed higher Hsp27 levels compared with well-differentiated HCC (p = 0.002). (B) Moderate/strong Hsp27 expression was associated with poorer prognosis in HCC patients (p = 0.013).
