| Negative | Low | High | ||||
| Cancerous tissue†, ‡ | 185 | 13 | 69 | 103 | 184.080 | <0.001 |
| Lymph node metastasis† | 62 | 3 | 13 | 46 | ||

P value is based on Fisher’s test.
†
Significant difference in the expression of FOXC2 between indicated group and the normal mucosa tissue sample. Cancerous tissue VS normal mucosa, χ2=158.911, P<0.001. Lymph node metastasis VS normal mucosa, χ2=169.422, P<0.001.
‡
Significant difference in the expression of FOXC2 between cancerous tissue and the LNM tissue sample, χ2=6.713, P=0.035 (Fisher’s exact test).
