screened 243 genes related to lymph node metastasis in 178 TCGA CC samples and analyzed these genes by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses of FABP4 (HR=1.582, P < 0.001) FABP4 (HR=1.384, P=0.024). This evidence concerns the gene FABP4 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
