Specifically, high LAYN mRNA expression was correlated with worse OS and PFS in stage 2 to 4 of gastric cancer patients but was not associated with OS and PFS of stage 1 (OS HR = 0.54, P = 0.28; PFS HR = 0.58, P = 0.34) and stage N0 patients (OS HR = 2.13, P = 0.073; PFS HR = 2.08, P = 0.92) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene LAYN and gastric cancer.
