Expression of AMACR in HCC, HCA, CN and NLT
| AMACR staining intensity* n (%) | |||||
| Low expression | High expression | ||||
| 0 | 1+ | 2+ | 3+ | Total No. of Cases | |
| HCC | 0(0) | 9(18) | 16(31) | 26(51) | 51 |
| WDHCC | 0(0) | 2 (14) | 5 (36) | 7 (50) | 14 |
| MDHCC | 0(0) | 4 (18) | 6 (27) | 12 (55) | 22 |
| PDHCC | 0(0) | 3 (20) | 5 (33) | 7 (47) | 15 |
| HCA | 6(67) | 2 (22) | 1 (11) | 0 (0) | 9 |
| CN | 16 (33) | 26 (54) | 6 (13) | 0 (0) | 48 |
| NLT | 13(81) | 2(13) | 1(6) | 0(0) | 16 |
Note: WDHCC indicates well differentiated HCC;MDHCC: moderately differentiated HCC;PDHCC: poorly differentiated HCC;
HCA: Hepatocellular adenoma; CN: Cirrhotic nodules, NLT: normal liver tissue
*Staining intensity is graded as 0 (scant faint finely granular background staining), 1+ (weak), 2+ (moderate), or 3+ (strong).
