The TAGLN2 was strongly expressed in several tumour lesions: A (Grade 1, T2bN0M0), B (Grade 2, T3N0M0), C (Grade 3, T2N0M0), and D (Grade 3, metastatic region), whereas no expression was observed in the normal tissue (E); the expression score of tumours was significantly higher than that of normal tissues (P=0.0202). Here, TAGLN2 is linked to neoplasm.
