Factors related with shorter overall survival was adenocarcinoma histology (P=0.001), increased CA19-9 (P=0.003), increased CEA (P=0.047), increased LDH (P<0.001), CK20 positivity (P=0.002), presence of bone metastasis (P=0.017), metastasis not confined to the lymph nodes (P=0.015), unfavorable clinical group based predefined category (P=0.017), and patients with no treatment (P<0.001). The gene discussed is CEACAM5; the disease is adenocarcinoma.
