---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low (0–100) | Mild (101–200) | Moderate (201–300) | High (≥301) | Total | Avg. LI | SD | |
T1: lesion | 2/22 (9.0%) | 6/22 (27.3%) | 4/22 (18.2%) | 10/22 (45.5%) | 22 | 231.9 | 80.5 |
≥T2: invasive | 16/56 (28.6%) | 13/56 (23.2%) | 11/56 (19.6%) | 14/56 (25.0%) | 56 | 169.3 | 109.8 |
Representative LI groups (low, mild, moderate, and high) based on intensity of staining x% of tumor cells staining. TERE1 expression is reduced in a third of invasive bladder tumor specimens. A significantly greater number of >T2 specimens show low TERE1 staining than T1 (p=0.005–0.01) (refer Fig. 2).
