As shown in Supplementary Table 2, high expression of YAP was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001), advanced clinical stage (P < 0.001; Fig. 7A), and tumor invasion (P = 0.0319), while high expression of CD24 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0024), advanced clinical stage (P < 0.001; Fig. 7B), distant metastasis (P = 0.01), and tumor invasion (P = 0.0095). The gene discussed is CD24; the disease is metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
