Serous and Exosomal LDH-C4 as a Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker of Cervical Carcinoma by Fengxia Zhang, Zengguang Ma, Fengqin Zhang, Yucui Li, Xiaojie Liu, Jiandong Zhang

“…The overall survival of patients with cervical carcinoma with positive LDH-C4 expression was 83.54%; patients with a higher LDH-C4 expression exhibited a poorer overall survival rate than those with lower LDH-C4 expression. Multiple Cox regression analysis demonstrated that LDH-C4 expression is a poor independent prognostic factor for patients with cervical carcinoma. …”
