The correlations were evaluated using the Pearson correlation test

Glut4 and IRS1 are involved in glycolysis; Ki-67, proliferation marker; CD31, angiogenesis marker; E-cadherin, epithelial marker; N-cadherin and fibronectin, mesenchymal marker; Caspase 3, apoptosis marker. Patient number = 33, *p < 0.05
