Expression of four miRNAs in peritumoral tissues predicts development of local recurrence in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Kaplan–Meier (KM) analyses representing the correlation between the expression of four miRNAs (miR-429, miR96-5p, miR-21-5p, and miR-21-3p) and local recurrence development in peritumoral tissues of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients (relative P-value is indicated above each KM). The analyses were performed on patients (N=106) with an informative follow-up (≥12 months), considering two subgroups according to the expression level (high/low) of each prognostic miRNA (see Materials and methods). For each KM the hazard risk, the confidence interval, and the relative P-value (P) of the multivariate Cox analysis are also indicated.
