High Expression Levels of SLC38A1 Are Correlated with Poor Prognosis and Defective Immune Infiltration in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 4

The association between SLC38A1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics. (a) Pathological grade, as determined from the TCGA database. (b) Clinical stage, as determined from the TCGA database. (c) T stage, as determined from the TCGA database. (d) Tumor differentiation, as determined from the CPTAC database. (e) Tumor size, as determined from the CPTAC database. (f) Tumor thrombus, as determined from the CPTAC database. The number of patients in the TCGA database that were in stage IV was very small; thus, patients with stages III and IV were pooled together for analysis. There was one patient in the well differentiation group derived from the CPTAC database; therefore, patients in the well differentiation and moderate differentiation groups were pooled for analysis.
