Background: 5-methylcytosine/N-methyladenosine/N-methylguanosine (mC/mA/mG)-related genes play a critical role in tumor occurrence and progression, and non-apoptotic regulatory cell death (NARCD) is closely linked to tumor development and immunity. However, the role of mC/mA/mG-related NARCD genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. We used mC/mA/mG-related NARCD genes to construct a prognostic model of HCC for prognostic prediction and clinical treatment of patients.
