Combination of SOX9 and CD73 achieved satisfactory power on predicting prognosis in HCC. a Representative images of IHC staining for CD73, c-Myc, and SOX9. b Correlations between CD73, c-Myc, and SOX9 protein expressions. c Kaplan-Meier curve analysis of TTR (upper) and OS (lower) of HCC patients after curative resection according to CD73 expression level. d Kaplan-Meier curve analysis of TTR (upper) and OS (lower) of HCC patients after curative resection according to SOX9 expression level. e Prognostic significance of the combination of CD73 and SOX9 with respect to TTR (upper) and OS (lower) after curative resection. f Prognostic prediction performances of CD73, SOX9, or combination for TTR (left) and OS (right) were assessed by ROC curve analysis
