However, after adjusting for age, gender, smoking, drinking, hypertension, heart diseases, BMI, levels of CHO, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C, titer of VCA-IgA and EA-IgA, histological type, T-stage, N-stage, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, we still found no significant differences of DSS, LRFS and DMFS when comparing patients with diabetes to those with normoglycemia (P = 0.894 for DSS, P = 0.351 for LRFS and P = 0.530 for DMFS) and comparing patients with prediabetes to those with normoglycemia (P = 0.335 for DSS, P = 0.613 for LRFS and P = 0.671 for DMFS). This evidence concerns the gene CD79A and diabetes mellitus.
