We found in tumor-adjacent stroma that FGFR1 was negatively associated with the risk of BCR (p-value = 0.005), MYPT1 was positively associated with the risk of BCR (p-value = 0.008), and LDHB showed a positive-association tendency (p-value = 0.164); however, such association patterns, either positive or negative, were completely opposite to what had been reported in tumor tissues (5, 24–32). Here, BCR is linked to neoplasm.
