Abstract

BACKGROUND: The relationship between autophagy and the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is notably substantial, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. Our objective is to construct a predictive model, thereby providing fresh insights into the diagnosis and treatment of HCC. Autophagy's role in HCC progression is recognized, but the exact mechanisms are still unclear. This study seeks to build a predictive model to offer new diagnostic and therapeutic insights for HCC. Through combining bioinformatics and experiments, we aim to clarify autophagy pathways' part in HCC and spot possible treatment targets, thus aiding future HCC research and treatment.
