HNRNPK and neoplasm: High levels of hnRNP K were correlated with worse OS, DSS, and DFS and multiple clinicopathological factors with a poor prognosis such as advanced tumor stage, positive node stage, advanced overall stages, extracapsular spread, and large tumor depthsHigher expression was correlated with poor outcomesA significant correlation between histological grades of differentiation and hnRNP K mRNA expression could not be predictedHigher expression is associated with a poor prognosis
