Tumor SQSTM1 Expression Level in Relation to the Frequency and the Type of Hepatic Recurrence of Tumors.

Tumor SQSTM1 expression	Frequency of tumor recurrence		P Value	Test of Significance
	No recurrence (n = 36)	Yes recurrence (n = 14)
Range	15–40	26–42
Median	26.50	33.00	P < 0.001∗	U = 75.50
Mean ± SD	25.33 ± 5.777	33.79 ± 5.727
Tumor SQSTM1 expression	Type of tumor recurrence		P Value	Test of Significance
	Local (n = 9)	Distant (n = 5)
Range	26–42	28–41
Median	31.00	38.00	P = 0.606	U = 18.00
Mean ± SD	33.00 ± 5.874	35.20 ± 5.805

U: Mann Whitney test.

P: P value for comparing between the two categories.

∗: Statistically significant at P ≤ 0.05.
