And the univariate analysis demonstrated that the FIGO stage (P = 0.0026), the lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0048) and the histological grade (P = 0.0375), and PAK4 expression (P = 0.0014) were significantly associated with overall survival of cervical cancer patients (Table 2). The gene discussed is PAK4; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
