Association between AQP5 overexpression and the demographics of patients and tumor characteristics.

?In this table, AQP5(+) group is defined as cases with moderate and strong expression (score 2, and 3). If all of three groups (groups with expression score of 1, 2, and 3) including the group with weak expression (score 1) are counted, percentage of expression will be significantly high (45.5%, 185/408).*Pearson X2 test was used to derive p values, except for age and tumor size where student t-test was performed.?Other subtypes include three adenosquamous, one mixed squamous and neuroendocrine carcinoma and one sarcomatoid carcinoma.��Lung cancers are graded by the modified Broder's grading system (HG, histological grade; WD, well differentiated; MD, moderately differentiated; PD, poorly differentiated).
