BCL2 and neoplasm: Also, in multivariate analyses of triple-negative cases, including tumor size, nodal status, and grade, Bcl-2 positivity independently predicted recurrence/mortality in postmenopausal, but not in premenopausal, women; the hazard ratio of Bcl-2 (positive vs. negative) was 18.607 (95 % CI, 4.685 to 103.022; P <0.0001) for recurrence and 12.391 (95 % CI, 3.501 to 57.617; P <0.0001) for mortality in postmenopausal women, but 1.434 (95 % CI, 0.545 to 3.653; P = 0.4540) for recurrence and 1.283 (95 % CI, 0.464 to 3.354; P = 0.6170) for mortality in premenopausal women.
