Statistical analysis demonstrated a highly significant association of Cathepsin D with poor prognostic variables including high tumour grade ( p < 0.007) and poor NPI ( p = 0.002).
Statistical analysis demonstrated a highly significant association of Cathepsin D with poor prognostic variables including high tumour grade ( p < 0.007) and poor NPI ( p = 0.002).
Unexpectedly, our study did not find a significant correlation between tumour stage and Cathepsin D expression but it showed a trend ( p = 0.084).
Although the previous study did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.09), it supports our findings and warrants further investigation [ 32 ].
