In a linear regression analysis, a positive correlation between the percentage of positive tumor cells for LDH5 and TKTL1 was found statistically significant (R-squared = 0.0233; p = 0.0317) meaning a simultaneous increase in the percentage of positive tumor cells within our cohort for TKTL1 and LDH5 expression. Here, TKTL1 is linked to neoplasm.
