Table 2. Comparison of TIPE3 expression levels between invasive breast cancer and lymph node metastatic tissues from same patients.

Invasive cancer withLymph node metastasis	N = 36	Expression of TIPE3				P-value
		-	+	++	+++
Invasive cancer	36	2	10	10	14	0.032
Lymph node metastasis	36	1	5	7	23

Note: P = 0.032, TIPE3 protein in lymphatic metastasis carcinoma vs in invasive ductal carcinoma.
