The Role of Human U Three Protein 14a as a Predictor for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence After Microwave Ablation

This study aimed to investigate hUTP14a expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its value as a predictor for HCC recurrence after treatment with microwave ablation (MWA). Materials and Methods: The hUTP14a expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry on ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy material from the tumor and the surrounding cirrhotic nontumor tissues. The relation between hUTP14a expression and clinic-pathologic variables was analyzed. Results: Nuclear hUTP14a showed significant high expression in HCC tumor tissue compared with corresponding nontumor tissue (P
