In another densitometry analysis to determine the cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity of AnxA1 separately in all groups, although observed nuclear immunostaining mainly in gastric cancer, the data obtained in our results did not show a statistically significant difference between normal mucosa and CG (P  =  0.19) and normal mucosa and GA (P  =  0.18) (data not shown). This evidence concerns the gene ANXA1 and gastric cancer.
