GATA3 and neoplasm: In addition, Stojadinovic et al. reported that tumor size was also a significant risk factor for local recurrence.[32] The present results suggest that GATA3 expression may be valuable in the stratification of patients for predicting recurrence, including both local recurrence and distant metastasis after complete resection, particularly among cases with large tumors and/or a high FNCLCC histological grade.
