In multivariate analyses, the expression of stromal uPA remained significantly associated with prolonged DRFS (adjusted HR for distant relapse 2.78; 95% CI 1.31–5.93; p=0.008 Cox regression analysis) and again showed a trend towards an improved OS (adjusted HR for death 1.47; 95% CI 0.86–2.50; p=0.161 ) when compared to women whose tumors did not express uPA ( Table 2 ).
