Table 1.
The association of studied features with prognosis (univariate survival analysis in the entire cohort)
Feature | P value (Log Rank Test) |
Phospho-p38 expression (<15 vs ≥15)* | 0.443 |
Cytoplasmic caspase-8 expression (weak vs moderate/strong) | 0.037 |
Nuclear caspase-8 expression (<10 vs ≥10) | 0.257 |
Bcl-2 expression (<45 vs ≥45)* | 0.218 |
Grade (grade 1/2 vs grade 3/4) | 0.019 |
pT-stage (stage pT1a/pT1b/pT2 vs pT3a/pT3b) | 0.712 |
Age (<54 vs ≥54)* | 0.273 |
Gender (male vs female) | 0.660 |
The association of studied features with prognosis was studied with the Log Rank Test. As shown in the table, grade and cytoplasmic caspase-8 expression are both prognosticators, and of these, Fuhrman's grade is more significant. Numbers in bold: statistically significant.
(*): median values.
