Core Tip

Core Tip: In this study, we combined the research methods of meta-analysis and bioinformatics analysis to comprehensively analyze and explore the prognostic value of brain cytoplasmic RNA1 (BCYRN1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the prospects of immunotherapy. Our study found that overexpression of BCYRN1 was significantly associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients and may be an independent prognostic factor for HCC and a target for immunotherapy.
