CCN2 and cancer: Moreover, CTGF mRNA expression is an independent predictor for survival in both cohorts (GSE14333: HR = 1.543, 95% CI = 1.155–2.061, p<0.001; Figure 3G and GSE17538: HR = 1.902, 95% CI = 1.385–2.612, p<0.001; Figure 3H) together with stage (GSE14333: p<0.001 and GSE17538: p<0.001) and grade (GSE17538: p = 0.053) of the cancers.
