Early diagnosis and proper management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) improve patient prognosis. Several studies attempted to discover new genes to understand the pathogenesis and identify the prognostic and predictive factors in HCC patients, to improve patient’s overall survival (OS) and maintain their physical and social activity. The transcription factor FOS-like antigen 1 (FOSL1) acts as one of the important prognostic factors in different tumors, and its overexpression correlates with tumors’ progression and worse patient survival. However, its expression and molecular mechanisms underlying its dysregulation in human HCC remain poorly understood. Our study was conducted to evaluate the expression of FOSL1 in HCC tissues and its relationship with various clinicopathological parameters besides OS.
