  1. AFP alpha fetoprotein, ALB serum albumin, TBIL total bilirubin, HBV hepatitis B virus, TNM tumor-node-metastasis
  2. p values were calculated by comparing the expression of FOXM1 and KIF4A with different clinical variables respectively using a chi-square test. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
