Although there was insufficient data to establish statistical significance, a clear trend of beneficial high PLEC expression can be seen in Figure 19 . 4.
Contrary to that, the expression of VIM decreased in different stages and grades of ovarian tumours compared to normal ovaries ( Figure 14 a,b), compared to IHC data in our in-house samples, which showed an increasing trend in different stages and grades of tumours compared to benign ovaries ( Figure 5 c). 3.5.
Similarly, a small number of high-VIM cases fell into the grade 1 Silverberg–Shimizu group, with a possible trend towards lower expression in grades 2 and 3, but the differences are not strong enough for significance.
