Background: The kinesin superfamily protein member KIF21B plays an important role in regulating mitotic progression; however, the function and mechanisms of KIF21B in cancer, particularly in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are unknown.
Aim: To explore the role of KIF21B in hepatocellular carcinoma and its effect on prognosis after hepatectomy.
Methods: First, data on the differential expression of KIF21B in patients with HCC from The Cancer Genome Atlas database was analyzed.
