Decreased expression of mucin 18 is associated with unfavorable postoperative prognosis in @entity1 with XXXX .

BACKGROUND: @entity9502 is correlated with @entity5 progression and @entity3 in types of @entity5 . But the role of @entity9502 in @entity1358 remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression of @entity9502 and its correlation with clinical outcomes in @entity1358 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining was performed in samples from 288 @entity1 with @entity1358 . We used Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard models to value the association between @entity9502 expression and clinical outcome. Nomogram was constructed to predict overall survival at 5 and 8 years after nephrectomy. RESULTS: @entity9502 expression was significantly decreased in @entity5 compared to non- @entity5 tissue (P<0.001). Lower @entity9502 expression in @entity5 predicted a shorter survival time (P=0.007). By multivariate cox analysis, @entity9502 was defined as an independent prognostic factor (P=0.006). The nomogram performed better in predicting 5- and 8-year overall survival than the @entity2802 stage alone in @entity1358 . CONCLUSION: @entity9502 is an independent prognostic factor for @entity1358 and could be incorporated with the other parameters to predict 5- and 8-year overall survival for @entity1358 @entity1 .
