On the other hand, TROY expression was higher in the tumor-adjacent normal tissue of the distal stomach (3.5 ± 1.1) versus the proximal (2.7 ± 0.8) region, which was borderline significant ( p = 0.052, Table 3 ).
Accordingly, those with serum PGI/II ratio of ≤3.0 had higher levels of tumor LGR5 expression (3.9 ± 1.1), as compared to those above 3.0 (3.3 ± 1.0), which did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.095, Table 3 ).
