Univariate analysis demonstrated that histological grade (P = 0.004), clinical stage (P = 0.008), LN metastasis (P = 0.005), Her2 expression levels (P = 0.019), and NQO1 expression status were significantly associated with DFS and 10-year OS in patients with breast cancer (Table 3). The gene discussed is NQO1; the disease is breast cancer.
