Overexpression of NDRG1 leads to poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma through mediating immune infiltration and EMT

NDRG1, the first member of the NDRG family, is a multifunctional protein associated with carcinogenesis. Its function in human cancer is currently poorly understood. The aim of this study was to explore the importance of NDRG1 in tumor immune cell infiltration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in hepatocellular carcinoma.
