Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; ERG, v-ets erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog; HR, hazard ratio; Ki67, antigen KI-67; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; p53, tumor protein p53; PSA, prostate-specific antigen; PTEN, phosphatase and tensin homolog; S6, S6 ribosomal protein.

a

The multivariable analysis excluded S6 and mTOR to avoid multicollinearity.

b

Continuous variable.

c

Categorical variable.
