PGR and neoplasm: Moreover, in multivariate analysis adjusted for numerous factors (age, menopausal status, histological type, histological grade, tumour size, lymph node status, ER, PR, c-erbB-2, EGFR, pEGFR and EGFR/pEGFR phenotype), tumour size (P = 0.010; B coefficient = 6.550; standard error = 0.728, 95% confidence interval = 1.573 to 27.281) and EGFR/pEGFR coexpression (P = 0.013; B coefficient = 1.520; standard error = 0.168, 95% confidence interval = 1.093 to 2.113) were of independent prognostic significance for overall survival.
