Clinical characteristics of cervical cancer patients grouped by KCC4 grading

Characteristic Low grade (N=36) High grade (N=44) P value
Age – year
  Mean 51 49 0.65
  Range 31 – 66 37 – 69
Histology - no. (%)
  Squamous cell carcinoma 30 (83%) 37 (84%) 1.0
  Adenocarcinoma 6 (17%) 7 (16%)
FIGO staging - no. (%)
 Ib 36 (100%) 41 (93%) 0.25
 IIa 0 (0%) 3 (7%)
Parametrium invasion - no. (%) 2 (6%) 22 (50%) P<0.0001
Lymph node metastasis - no. (%) 3 (8%) 23 (52%) P<0.0001

Low grade indicates that the distribution of KCC4 staining is less than 50% of tumor area, whereas high grade indicates that the distribution of KCC4 staining is more than 50% of tumor area. Unpaired t test or Chi-square test was used for statistical analyses.
