Finally, a Cox proportional hazards model that included the demographic factors in Table 1 and lung cancer stage showed that abnormal galectin-1 levels were not significantly correlated with OS, with a hazard ratio of 2.928 (95% CI of 0.9940 to 8.625), yet it was borderline significant with p = 0.0513. The gene discussed is LGALS1; the disease is lung cancer.
