The degree of expression of different proteins in human tongue tumour tissue

	Erzin		ERK		AKT
CIS n = 12	High	Low	High	Low	High	Low
	2	10	1	11	1	11
SSC n = 13	High	Low	High	Low	High	Low
	12	1	11	2	6	7
	P = 0.0002		P = 0.0002		P = 0.073

There was no significant difference in AKT protein expression between CIS and SCC samples; a significant difference was observed for ezrin and ERK expression. The level of significance was P < 0.05
