 Correlation between adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) hypermethylation and protein expression. (a) APC protein expression did not correlate significantly with the occurrence of APC promoter methylation in atypical endometrial hyperplasia (P = 0.547). (b) No significant correlation was observed between APC immunoexpression and APC promoter hypermethylation in endometrial carcinoma (EC) stages I–IV (P = 0.506). The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system was applied. (c) APC protein expression correlated significantly with the occurrence of APC promoter methylation in FIGO stages I and II of EC (P = 0.039). (d) No significant correlation was observed between APC immunoexpression and APC promoter hypermethylation in advanced‐stage EC, FIGO III and IV (P = 0.101).
