In multivariable analysis, Cox proportional hazards models for DFS, MFS, OS, and PFS were applied to test DCSCRIPT levels added to models with traditional factors. The proportional hazards assumptions were checked with Schoenfeld residuals. The analyses were stratified if necessary. The models for DFS, MFS, and OS for LNN patients who had not received adjuv

Tivities of ESR1 and progesterone receptor (PGR) [7]. We also showed that DC-SCRIPT was an independent prognostic factor, particularly for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. This led us to postulate that the anti-proliferative effect of DC-SCRIPT in breast cancer cells could be mediated by simultaneous modulation of the activity of multiple nuclear receptors. To provide a higher level of evi

IcsResultsAssociations of DC-SCRIPT with clinicopathological factors and histological and intrinsic breast cancer subtypesThe relationship between DC-SCRIPT and patient and tumor characteristics was investigated with the use of non-parametric methods (Spearman rank correlations for continuous variables and Wilcoxon rank-sum for dichotomized or Kruskal-Wallis test for ordered variables).
