Descriptive frequency and univariate chi-square p-values for patients with cytoplasmic expression (Cyto) vs. patients with cytoplasmic expression and membrane accentuation (Cyto + Memb). Positive GRB7 expression includes 1+, 2+ and 3+. Neg = negative, Pos = positive, Equiv = equivocal. Not all data points were available for all patients.
