ER, estrogen receptor; PR, progesterone receptor; AR, androgen receptor; +, positive reaction; EEC, endometrial endometrioid cancer; NEEC, non-endometrioid endometrial cancers which includes: SCA, serous carcinoma; CCCA, clear cell carcinoma; CS, carcinosarcoma; DECA, dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma; and MNCA, mesonephric like carcinoma; Met, metastatic carcinoma; BMI, body mass index (kg/m2), BMI ≥30 as positive, BMI <30 as negative

*, the statistical test did net return any result because of the two zeros, therefor the p-value is assumed as "1" since both sets of data are identical.
