            (A) Spearman correlation analysis between KIF2C and PD-1 expression in HCC, adjusted for tumor purity using the TIMER database. (B) Spearman
            correlation analysis between KIF2C and PD-L1 expression in HCC, adjusted for tumor purity using the TIMER database. (C) Spearman correlation analysis
            between KIF2C and CTLA-4 expression in HCC, adjusted for purity using the TIMER database. (D) The GEPIA database was utilized to determine the
            expression correlation between KIF3F and PD1 in HCC. (E) The GEPIA database was used to determine the expression correlation between KIF2C and
