The expression patterns of differentially expressed hallmark inflammatory response genes in hepatocellular carcinoma. (a) Volcano plot of differentially expressed hallmark inflammatory response genes. Red indicates upregulated genes and blue indicates downregulated genes. The four optimal hallmark inflammatory response genes are highlighted. (b) Hierarchical clustering dendrograms of the expression patterns of differently expressed hallmark inflammatory response genes that can distinguish HCCs and adjacent tissues.
