HOXB7 and neoplasm: There were significant differences in survival curves between patients with tumors <4 cm in diameter and patients with tumors ≥4 cm in diameter, among groups of tumors that are well, moderately, and poorly differentiated, between groups with TNM stages I, II and III or IV, between lymph node metastatic group and non-metastatic group, among groups of negative (or weak) and positive for HOXB7 protein expression, between groups with low levels of miR-337 expression and miR-337 over-expression but no significant differences between patients of different sexes, ages, and tumor sites.
