Table 2. Comparison of KLK6, VEGF, and MMP9 staining between gastric cancer and normal tissues.
Tissue type | Number of positively-stained samples | KLK6 | VEGF | MMP9 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Tumor | 326 | 142 (43.56)* | 173 (53.07)* | 238 (73.01)* |
Normal | 326 | 26 (7.98) | 57 (17.48) | 44 (13.50) |
Values are presented as number (%).
KLK6 = kallikrein 6; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor; MMP9 = matrix metallopeptidase 9.
*Indicated value means significant difference (P<0.05).
