Comparison of ESCC differentiation degree with galectin-7 expression
Expression level | Differentiation degree | P value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
well | moderately | poorly | ||
low | 4 | 5 | 10 | 0.045 |
high | 8 | 9 | 3 |
High expression levels correspond to tumors with either intense homogeneous or intense inhomogeneous Gal-7-dependent staining signals. Low expression levels correspond to tumors with either weak homogeneous staining signals or no detectable Gal-7 signal.
