STING1 and neoplasm: When a Cox proportional hazard regression model was employed for carrying a multivariable analysis among STING immunohistochemical expression, tumor size, nucleolar grade, coagulative granular necrosis, and clinical outcome, immunolabeling for such marker (p = 0.029), presence of necrosis (p = 0.026), and pTNM stage (p = 0.002) reached a statistical independent significance (Table 2).
