Fascin expression has been reported to be associated with progression or prognosis in various neoplasms, but the role of fascin in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown.

Tumors showing fascin expression were larger and less differentiated than those showing no fascin expression (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0239 and 0.0018, respectively). Portal venous invasion, bile duct invasion, and intrahepatic metastasis were detected significantly more frequently in fascin\u2010positive group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0029, 0.0333, and 0.0403, respectively). In addition, high alpha\u2010fetoprotein (AFP) levels were significantly associated with the fascin expression in HCC (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0116).
