High Ki-67 expression index was remarkably linked with poorer DFS (log-rank p = 0.039; A) and OS (log-rank p = 0.029; B). The lymph node stage was also substantially correlated with worse DFS (log-rank p < 0.001; C) and OS (log-rank p < 0.001; D). (A) Disease-free survival curve of the Ki-67 group; (B) overall Survival curve of the Ki-67 group; (C) disease-free survival curve of the lymph node stage group; (D) overall survival curve of the lymph node stage group.
DFS: Disease-free survival; N0: no lymph node metastases; N1: One to three axillary lymph node metastases; OS: Overall survival.
