In addition, the multivariate analysis for each significant variable in the univariate analysis deomonstrated that the FIGO stage (P = 0.0097), the lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0124), or the PAK4 expression (P = 0.0073) was independently associated with the poor prognostic overall survival for patients with cervical cancer (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene PAK4 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
