“…Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; CT, chemotherapy; c/t, cribriform/ tubular pattern; HRs, hazard ratios; n, negative; H3K9Ac, histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation; H3K9me3, histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation; p, positive; RT, radiation therapy; s, solid pattern. can regulate the expression of certain tumor suppressor genes, such as p16, RIZ1, 14 and BRCA1, 35 which leads to the inhibition of tumor cell apoptosis. In addition, histone modifications can also regulate tumor suppressor genes that are associated with cell proliferation and distant metastasis, as described above.…”
