EGFR and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: We also demonstrated a significant correlation between EGFR expression and lymph node metastasis (P=0.0240), p53 expression and tumor size (P=0.0300), p53 and Ki-67 expression and histological grade (P<0.05) and the expressions of VEGF, EGFR, p53, TOPO II, Ki-67 and HER2 status (P<0.05).
