PRKDC and neoplasm: More importantly, multi-variate analysis through Cox regression model with all 6 parameters (p-DNA-PKcs level, age, gender, tumor location, debulking degree, tumor grade) identified the independent prognostic significance of p-DNA-PKcs (hazard ratio: 3.052; p < 0.001; 95% CI: 2.204 - 4.572), which was not linked to known prognostic factors such as ages and tumor grades (Supplementary Table S2).
