When data were stratified for multivariate analysis, only residual tumor remained significant (P = 0.0002) for shorter progression-free survival (Table 1), but residual tumor (≥1 cm) and high NAC1/CARM1 expression remained significant (P = 0.0027 and P = 0.0418, respectively) for overall survival (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene CARM1 and neoplasm.
