The multivariate analysis showed that ETV1 expression (hazard ratio [HR] 8.1; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4–48.0, P = 0.022), tumor size (HR 4.8; 95% CI 1.1–21.3, P = 0.039), location (HR 11.7; 95% CI 1.5–88.0, P = 0.017) and mitotic count (HR 13.9; 95% CI 2.8–69.0, P < 0.001) were independent factors for recurrence after surgery. Here, ETV1 is linked to neoplasm.
