Overexpression of SCL/TAL1 interrupting locus (STIL) has been observed in various cancer types. However, the clinical significance of STIL in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of STIL. Go and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were also carried out. Immune infiltrates analyses were conducted based on TIMER (Tumor Immune Estimation Resource) and GAPIA databases. STIL expression was highly expressed in HCC tissues, based on multiple databases. KEGG and GO enrichment analysis showed STIL-related to tumorigenesis and progress. Furthermore, STIL was significantly correlated with immune infiltration. STIL serves as a biomarker for the prediction of patient survival.
