In the univariate Cox analysis, KIF11 (HR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.13–0.996; p = 0.049), combined KIF11/KIF14 expression (HR = 0.27, 95% CI 0.08-0.88; p = 0.03), tumor stage (HR = 2.60, 95% CI 1.55–4.35; p = 0.001) as well as pT (HR = 3.21, 95% CI 1.17–8.84; p = 0.02), pN (HR = 2.46, 95% CI 1.50–4.04; p < 0.0001), and pM status (HR = 4.21, 95% CI 2.34–7.56; p < 0.0001) were significantly correlated with OS (Table 4). Here, KIF14 is linked to neoplasm.
