p27kip1 expression in human colorectal tumors with different stages of malignancy, from Dukes A–D. As in Table 3, the number of tumors positive and negative for nuclear p27kip1 staining are shown under + or −, respectively. The number of tumors examined for each Dukes stage is shown under total. The total number of tumors examined is regarded as 100%, and the percentage of nuclear p27kip1 staining positive and negative tumors is shown as percentage under + or −, respectively for each group of tumors (Dukes A–D).
