Univariate analysis using the log-rank test revealed adverse influences on survival with respect to tumor size (pT category, P = 0.005), lymph node involvement (pN category, p = 0.000), histology grade (Poorly differentiation, p = 0.000), tumor stage (p = 0.000), and Galectin-1 (p = 0.000) staining intensity in cancer-associated stromal cells. The gene discussed is LGALS1; the disease is neoplasm.
