  1. CI, confidence interval.
  2. *Statistically significant. Cox proportional hazard model and single parameter analysis was used to determine the prognostic significance of age, preoperative PSA, LVI (+/−), BVI (+/−), PNI (+/−), pT stage (pT3/pT2), pN stage (pN1/pN0), GS, and Tiam1 overexpression (⩾3.5-fold/<3.5-fold). Age, preoperative PSA and GS were used as continuous variables.
