Text: Unadjusted Cox regression analyses indicated that high compared with low THBS-1, but not VEGF or VEGFR-1, was associated with an increased risk of disease progression (hazard ratio [HR] = 2. 19 ; 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1. 29-3. 71 ; p = 0. 004) and death (HR = 1. 93 ; 95 % CI = 1. 12-3. 32 ; p = 0. 018) whereas bFGF was associated with a reduced risk of disease progression (HR = 0. 60 ; 95 % CI = 0. 36-0. 99 ; p = 0. 046) and death (HR = 0. 54 ; 95 % CI = 0. 32-0. 93 ; p = 0. 026).
