Interestingly however, we have found highly significant correlations between CCL20 signal intensities and three clinical parameters: 1) Vital status of patients (Alive – 535+/−58 vs. dead – 786 +/− 72, P = 0.008), 2) Tumor differentiation (Well differentiated – 334+/−83 vs. poorly differentiated – 793 +/− 88, P = 0.004) and 3) T score of TNM staging system (T-1 – 552+/−68 vs. T-3/4 – 1055 +/− 207, P = 0.005). Here, CCL20 is linked to neoplasm.
