STOM and neoplasm: The most attention drew the correlation between caveolin-1 and stomatin expression because it emerged in groups of patients with favorable characteristics such as small tumor size (r = 0,666, p < 0,01, Spearman’s rank correlation), absence of lymph nodal metastases (r = 0,575, p < 0,01), high and moderate differentiation degree (r = 0,463, p < 0,01) and early stage of disease (r = 0,672, p < 0,01).
