The EpCAM overexpression is associated with clinicopathological significance and prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The results derived from our study suggest that the overexpression of EpCAM is associated with the clinicopathological features of HCC, including poorer differentiation and high AFP levels. More importantly, overexpression of EpCAM was confirmed as the unfavorable predictor for the shorter OS and DFS for HCC patients.
