However, we have now ensured that all major findings include quantitative effect measurements (e.g., fold changes, hazard ratios where applicable, correlation coefficients) together with corresponding statistical significance values to improve clarity and transparency.<h4>Results</h4>Elevated PITX1 expression was significantly associated with poorer overall survival, distant metastasis-free survival, relapse-free survival, and post-progression survival in breast cancer patients. This evidence concerns the gene PITX1 and breast cancer.
