The results shown in Table 2 indicated a significant association between patient survival and CEP78 expression (P = 0.009), tumor size (P = 0.004), tumor depth (P < 0.001), lymphatic metastasis (P < 0.001), distant metastasis (P < 0.001), and tumor stage (P < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene CEP78 and neoplasm.
