When considering the different histological types of tumor, the OS of the KIAA1522 overexpression group was shorter than that of the KIAA1522 low expression group in both SCCs and ADCs for all stages (P = 0.001, 0.001) and early stages (P = 0.005, 0.002) (Fig. 4). The gene discussed is NHSL3; the disease is neoplasm.
