CEP78 and neoplasm: Kaplan–Meier survival analyses indicated that low CEP78 expression was associated with a poor prognosis (P = 0.008); poor prognosis was also associated with large tumor size (P = 0.003), deep tumor invasion (P = 0.007), lymphatic metastasis (P < 0.001), distant metastasis (P < 0.001), and advanced stage (P < 0.001) (Fig. 3).
