Thus, of the 16 patients that were stained strongly for Hpa2 (+3), 15 (94%) were diagnosed as grade 1 or 2 and only 1 (6%) was diagnosed as grade 3, differences that are statistically highly significant (p<0.001).

We found that LOX staining was associated inversely with tumor stage, approaching significance (p=0.08; Table 7 ), in agreement with earlier reports identifying LOX as a tumor suppressor that inhibits Ras [ 22 , 23 ].
