| Reference | 19688691_9, Our data showed that (1) the frequency of C609T NQO1 was significantly increased in TNM stage III HCC patients; (2) no significant association was found between p53 expression and C609T polymorphism of NQO1 gene; and (3) a tumor/non-tumor (T/N) ratio 1.27 of NQO1 expression revealed by real-time qPCR analyses was positively correlated with poorer survival in patients with tumors 5 cm, suggesting that an increase of NQO1 expression may be an indicator of advanced tumor progression.
