Upregulated circ_0000437 in tissue and serum is associated with TNM classification, differentiation degree, tumor size and BCLC stage; high serum expression correlates with poor OS; serum AUC for HCC diagnosis is 0.9281.
In HCC, hsa_circ_0000437 (circ_0000437) is significantly up-regulated in tumor tissue and patient serum. Higher serum levels are associated with poorer overall survival and show high diagnostic performance (AUC 0.9281), supporting its use as a diagnostic/prognostic biomarker.
