Immunohistochemical localisation scores in endometrial cancer and postmenopausal endometrium. Immunostaining of IL11 (A), IL11Rα (B), pSTAT3 (C) and SOCS3 (D) in tumor epithelial cells in endometrial carcinoma. Relative staining intensities are represented as 0 (no staining) to 3 (maximal staining). Post-menopausal women were controls (n = 4) while endometrial carcinomas were from Grades 1-3 (Grade 1: n = 5, Grade 2: n = 5, Grade 3: n = 6). Individual data shown for each parameter. Results presented as mean. Proliferative = proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001 compared to postmenopausal control.
