Table 2.

Relationships between the expression of Aurora B and clinical pathological characteristics in 80 patients with ESCC.

Expression of Aurora B
p – value
Characteristics All cases Low(n = 35) High(n = 45)
Gender 0.999
 Male 64 28 36
 Female 16 7 9
Age(years) 0.806
 ≤ 60 24 11 13
 > 60 56 24 32
Initial clinical stage
 ≤ IIa 40 19 21 0.499
 > IIa 40 16 24
Tumor stages 0.088
 T1 + T2 22 13 9
 T3 + T4 58 22 36
Lymph nodes status 0.013
 N0 (negative) 40 23 17
 N1 or above (positive) 40 12 28

Chi-square test.

p < 0.05 indicates a significant upregulation of Aurora B in patients with lymphatic metastasis vs. no lymphatic metastasis.
