TRIM24 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: The univariate Cox proportional analysis reveals that the TRIM24 expression (P = 0.001), smoking history (P = 0.014), tumor size (P = 0.001), lymph node metastasis (P <0.001) and pathological TNM stage (P<0.001) are significant prognostic predictors for OS and DFS (Table 2).
