Correlation of concomitant expression of HIF-1α, MT and SLUG with LNM was measured by Chi-square test;
a
stands for significant difference among the three groups;
b
stands for significant difference between group (2) and group (3);
c
stands for significant difference between groups with and without concomitant expression of all three molecules.
