Low hsa_circ_0036683 expression is associated with poor RFS and OS and is an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis; combination with AFP improves AUC for 2-year RFS/OS.
hsa_circ_0036683 is down-regulated in HCC tissues relative to matched background liver tissues and serves as a prognostic biomarker: low expression predicts worse RFS and OS and remains an independent factor in multivariate models; it also adds predictive value when combined with AFP.
