FBL and neoplasm: Moreover, these data show that “low” and “high” FBL marker were associated with a hazard ratio (HR) > 1 when using the “intermediate” marker as a reference (OS: HR high: 1.40, CI95%: [0.84–2.34], HR low: 2.01, CI95%: [1.25–3.23], P = 0.0150; DFS: HR high: 1.51, CI95%: [0.93–2.45], HR low: 2.06, CI95%: [1.30–3.27], P = 0.0065), suggesting that patients bearing tumors with either “low” or “high” FBL mRNA levels displayed poor OS and DFS than the ones bearing tumours with “intermediate” FBL mRNA levels.
