Considering the significant correlation between LGALS level and survival outcomes of patients with ovarian cancer, the association between the prognostic values of LGALS1, LGALS4, LGALS8, LGALS10 and LGALS13 and clinicopathological features was further assessed, including tumor histological types, pathological grades and clinical stages (Table 1). The gene discussed is LGALS8; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
