Upregulation of NUSAP1 is associated with poor prognosis in cervical cancer. a Representative images of NUSAP1 staining in cervical cancer, which was scored as strong + 3, moderate + 2, weak + 1, and negative 0 (SP, × 200 and × 400). The proportion of each staining score is indicated (brackets). Bottom row shows the magnified inset area. b The number of cases with all staining intensities was indicated. c Correlation between 5-year metastatic relapse and NUSAP1 expression in patients. Chi-square test was used. d Kaplan–Meier metastasis free survival curves for cervical cancer patients stratified by high (n = 113) versus low (n = 120) NUSAP1 expression. P-values were calculated using the log-rank test; P < 0.001. e Multivariate analysis of clinical variables in cervical cancer using a Cox-regression model
