Likewise, advanced T-stage (HR: 3.17, 95% CI 1.34–7.53, P = 0.009), presence of vessel involvement (HR: 7.2, 95% CI 1.3–39.9, P = 0.024), LNM (HR: 4.76, 95% CI 1.42–15.9, P = 0.011), and hyper-editing status of AZIN1 RNA (HR: 4.55, 95% CI 2.12–9.78, P = 0.0001) emerged as independent prognostic factors for DFS in GC patients (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene AZIN1 and gastric cancer.
