#The median expression level was used as the cutoff. Low expression of SPHK1 in 23 patients was classified as values of 2-△△ct below 1.0.High SPHK1 expression in 53 patients was classified as values of 2-△△ct above 1.0. *For analysis of correlation between of SPHK1 levels and clinical features, Chi-square Test were used. Results were considered statistically significant at P<0.05. | ||||
