Objective : To study the correlation between eukaryotic translation initiation complex 4f ( EIF4F) and clinical prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ． Methods : By following up the clinical data of 743 HCC patients in the specimen bank，94 HCC tissue specimens with complete follow-up information were select- ed，and the clinical data were collected．The paired tissue specimens were made into tissue chip for immunohisto- chemical staining．Image J was used to analyze the optical density value of tissue chip staining，and R4. 0. 5 soft- ware was used to conduct nonparametric test analysis，draw KM curve，Cox regression analysis，and Nomogram sta- tistical analysis on experimental data and follow-up data. Results : Phosphorylation of 4EBP1 was significantly acti- vated in HCC tissues (P＜0. 001) ，and the activation Phosphorylation of 4EBP1 was associated with the clinical prognosis of HCC patients，P = 0. 038． Conclusion The activation of 4EBP1 phosphorylation in tumor tissue pre- dicts shorter overall survival time in HCC patients.
