LGALS3 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Galectin-3 expression was not correlated with sex (χ2=0.113, P > 0.05), age (χ2=0.220, P > 0.05), and histological type (χ2=0.012, P > 0.05), but was negatively correlated with pathological differentiation (r=-0.292, P < 0.05) and positively correlated with the clinical stage (r=0.336, P < 0.05) in NSCLC tissue.
