A subsequent investigation of associations demonstrated that UGCG and TNFRSF21 expression levels showed a positive relationship with NAC, whereas the expression of BTG2 and MYB, as well as the lymph node metastasis, were negatively correlated with the efficacy of NAC (Table 2). The gene discussed is TNFRSF21; the disease is metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
