Objective To investigate the expression of IQ motif-containing GTPase activating protein 1 (IQGAP1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues, and to analyze the relationship of IQGAP1 and patient's clinical characteristics and prognosis after liver resection. Methods Data of 79 patients who received liver resection between 2007 and 2009 in our hospital were collected. The expression of IQGAP1 was examined by immunohistochemical tests. The clinical characteristics and prognosis were compared. Results IQGAP1 was detected in 43 patients (54.4%). Patients with IQGAP1 expression had more poor differentiation and microvascular invasion. The cumulative recurrence-free rate and overall survival rate in 1-, 3-, and 5-year after operation of patients with IQGAP1 expression (cumulative recurrencefree rate:67.4%, 39.5%, and 23.3%; cumulative overall survival rate:97.7%, 71.5%, and 53.3%) were poor than patients without IQGAP1 expression (cumulative recurrence-free rate:100%, 94.4%, and 83.3%; cumulative overall survival rate:1007%, 97.2%, and 88.9%), P < 0.001. Conclusions HCC patients with IQGAP1 expression had a poor prognosis after liver resection. IQGAP1 may be a prognostic indicator for hepatocellular carcinoma.
