To our surprise, Kaplan–Meier plots of adjacent non-tumor tissue also show that both RFS (Fig. 2c) and OS (Fig. 2d) in patients with high expression of B3GALT5 were significantly worse than those with low expression (RFS: P < 0.0001; OS: P = 0.003). The gene discussed is B3GALT5; the disease is neoplasm.
