Table 1. Association between EGFR protein expression and TCC histological parameters.
| Histological parameters | n | EGFR | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low* | High* | |||
| Lymph node metastasis | ||||
| Absent | 22 | 6 (27%) | 16 (73%) | |
| Present | 3 | 1 (33%) | 2 (67%) | |
| P | 0.64 | |||

| Present | 17 | 3 (18%) | 14 (82%) | |
| P | 0.23 | |||
*:TCC patients were divided into 2 groups based on EGFR protein expression score obtained by immunohistochemistry: low- (scores 0, 1 and 2) and high- (scores 3) expression groups.
Statistical analysis was performed by the χ2 test.
