In addition, the survival data for GCs registered in the K-M Plotter online database (202672_s_at probe, http://kmplot.com/analysis/index.php?p=service&cancer=gastric) were analyzed and revealed that low ATF3 expression was significantly associated with poor OS (log-rank p = 0.0049), FPS (log-rank p = 6.4e-05) and PPS (log-rank p = 0.00017) in GCs (Fig. 1g). Here, ATF3 is linked to cancer.
