The survival time was correlated with age (p = 0.048), tumor size (p = 0.015), degree of differentiation (p = 0.044), distant metastasis (p < 0.01), vascular invasion (p < 0.01), invasion depth (p < 0.01), lymph node metastasis (p < 0.01), lymphatic invasion (p < 0.01) and ATAD3A expression (p < 0.01). This evidence concerns the gene ATAD3A and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
