Patients with HCC (n = 56) were divided into the high-risk and low-risk groups according to the median NK cell subsets, activity, and function data on D0 (see Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 for detailed clinical data). The KM curves were drawn to screen the indicators related to patients’ recurrence risk. CD158a expression (HR = 2.47, P = 0.0398) A, IFN-R (HR = 2.73, P = 0.0419) C, and perforin (HR = 3, P = 0.026) D were associated with the risk of HCC recurrence. NKG2D (HR = 2.32, P = 0.06) B
