Values are numbers of patients with percentages in parentheses. The numbers (percentages) of patients in the LE and HE groups for whom protein information was not available are as follows: S100A2/4: 21 (37.5) and 21 (32.8), respectively; S100A8/9: 25 (44.6) and 22 (34.4), respectively; Nestin, 19 (33.9) and 17 (26.6), respectively. LE, low expression; HE, high expression.
