PANDAR and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: Moreover, after analysis, we discovered that the high expression level of PANDAR was associated closely with the depth of invasion (pooled OR 3.95, 95%CI 2.36–6.63), lymph node metastasis (pooled OR 1.92, 95%CI 0.93–3.98), tumor stage (pooled OR 2.05, 95%CI 0.99–4.27), and distant metastasis (pooled OR 2.87, 95%CI 1.60–5.16).
