Multivariate analysis indicated FOXD1 (HR =0.706, 95% CI =0.522-0.956, P =0.024) was an independent prognostic factor, as well as age (HR =1.866, 95% CI =1.205-2.891, P =0.005), distant metastasis (HR =2.512, 95% CI =1.021-6.179, P =0.045), tumor size (HR =1.516, 95% CI =1.042-2.205, P =0.030) and smoking history (HR =0.594, 95% CI =0.432-0.815, P =0.001). Here, FOXD1 is linked to neoplasm.
