The results demonstrated that compared with 14-3-3σ low expression, high expression of 14-3-3σ showed a significant trend toward worse OS and PFS in gastric cancer patients of stage III ( p = 0.001 for OS and p = 0.017 for PFS, Figure 4A and 4B ) and stage IV ( p < 0.001 for OS and p = 0.001 for PFS, Figure 4C and 4D ).
