Nuclear NANOG expression showed a trend to associate with a higher grade of dysplasia (Fisher’s exact test p = 0.05) ( Table 1 ). 3.3.

In addition, patients carrying strong cytoplasmic NANOG expression (score 2) experienced a higher progression to OSCC than those with negative to moderate (scores 0 and 1) expression, and these differences almost reached statistical significance (HR = 4.35, 95% CI 0.88 to 22.42; p = 0.07). 3.4.
Positive NANOG expression was associated with a higher 5-year disease-specific survival, although this relationship did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.389) ( Figure 2 ). 3.5.
