Larger tumor size (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.053; P = 0.0290); a higher FNCLCC grade (HR: 2.061 [2 vs. 1], 4.442 [3 vs. 1], 2.156 [3 vs. 2]; P = 0.0063); greater expression levels of TACC3 (HR: 4.762; P = 0.0001), p53 (HR: 1.707; P = 0.0402), and Ki-67 (HR: 1.877; P = 0.0180); and undergoing postoperative therapy (HR: 3.783; P<0.0001) were negative risk factors for DFS on univariate analysis, while greater TACC3 expression level (HR: 3.074; P = 0.0235) and undergoing postoperative therapy (HR: 2.540; P = 0.0030) were independent negative prognostic factors for DFS on multivariate analysis. Here, MKI67 is linked to neoplasm.
