However, there were no statistically significant relationships between HSF1 expression and other clinicopathological variables, such as gender (P = 0.459), age (P = 0.814), tumour location (P = 0.341), histological type (P = 0.483), differentiation (P = 0.225) and CEA (P = 0.709). The gene discussed is HSF1; the disease is neoplasm.
