Correlationship between the stathmin1 expression level and clinicopathological characteristics. Data of stathmin-positive patients with diffuse-type gastric cancer are presented. (A) The state of stathmin1 protein expression in patients with lymph node metastasis in diffuse type gastric cancer (n=17) and in patients without metastasis (n=7). Stathmin1 protein expression in patients with lymph node metastasis is significantly higher than in patients without lymph node metastasis (*P<0.05, Mann–Whitney U-test). (B) The state of stathmin1 protein expression in patients with early stages (I and II) of diffuse type gastric cancer (n=9) and patients with advanced stages (III and IV) of diffuse-type gastric cancer (n=15). Stathmin1 protein expression in advanced stages is significantly higher than that in early stages (**P<0.01, Mann–Whitney U-test). (C) The state of stathmin1 protein expression in patients with vascular invasion in diffuse-type gastric cancer (n=14) and in patients without vascular invasion (n=10). Stathmin1 expression in patients with vascular invasion is significantly higher than in patients without vascular invasion (**P<0.01, Mann–Whitney U-test).
