The patients with Dukes' stages C and D cancer had higher serum concentrations of soluble E-cadherin in comparison with the patients with Dukes' stages A and B but the difference failed to reach statistical significance (P = 0.051).

did not reach statistical significanceno p-value reported

When the serum concentrations of adhesion molecules in the group with missing pathology (half of which by definition were more likely to be those with more advanced and unresectable disease) were examined, they were similar to the high-grade tumours, with a trend to be higher than concentrations for low-grade tumours, but the differ- ence did not reach statistical significance (data not shown).
