(1) E-cadherin levels were compared with that in normal mucosa. When the level was less than half of that in normal mucosa, it was considered as a decrease. (2) Subcellular localization of the protein was determined by immune histochemistry. (3) P-value was calculated by chi-square test. Normal, normal mucosa; TA, tubular adenoma; SSA/P, serrated sessile adenoma/polyp; SSA/P-D, SSA/P with dysplasia.
