BANCR and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: In addition, high BANCR expression predicted advanced tumor stage (OR (odds ratio) =2.39, 95% CI: 1.26–4.53, P = 0.008), presence of lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.08–3.83, P = 0.03), positive distant metastasis (OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.92–4.96, P < 0.00001) and larger tumor sizes (OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.09–2.46, P = 0.02).
