The expression of N-cadherin was associated with clinical stage (p=0.0354), distant metastasis (p=0.0271) and survival (p=0.0014), while the expression of IGF1R was associated with tumor size (p=0.0101), distant metastasis (p=0.0259) and survival (p=0.0253) (Table I). Here, CDH2 is linked to neoplasm.
