Fig. 3From: High hepatocyte growth factor expression in primary tumor predicts better overall survival in male breast cancerFactors associated with overall survival in M0 patients at diagnosis in univariable (a) and multivariable (b) Cox regression analysis. a HGF, CXCL12 (cytoplasm), age at diagnosis, PR, and pT status are statistically significantly associated with overall survival. b HGF, age at diagnosis, ER, and pT status are independent predictors for overall survival. AR, androgen receptor; CI, confidence interval; CXCR4, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4; CXCL12, C-X-C motif chemokine 12; ER, estrogen receptor; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; HGF, hepatocyte growth factor; HR, hazard ratio; ID, invasive ductal; LVI, lymphovascular invasion; M0, no metastasis; PR, progesterone receptor; pT status, pathological tumor status; OT, other types, including invasive lobular, mixed, micropapillary, mucinous, cribriform, tubular, metaplastic, clear cell, and apocrine carcinomaBack to article page
