CIP2A and neoplasm: In multivariate survival analysis, age over 60 years (hazard ratio (HR) 2.18, 95% CI 1.11–4.28, P=0.023), tumour size 21–40 mm (HR 2.48, 95% CI 1.19–5.17, P=0.016), and high CIP2A expression (HR 2.02, 95% CI 1.07–3.82, P=0.030; Table 3) remained as independent prognostic factors.
