Univariate analysis for disease free survival (DFS) showed that T2D history, high HbA1c (≧7%), DMMS+, low expression of E-cadherin, and high expression of vimentin were the most significant risk factors for DFS (Table 4), while they were also significant risk factors for reduced overall survival (OS) (Table 5). Here, VIM is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
