DACH1 and neoplasm: In comparison with the clinicopathological parameters between groups, including age, sex, tumor grading, TNM staging as well as the expression of cyclin D1, we found the level of DACH1 expression was significantly associated with tumor grade (χ2 test, p < 0.001) and illustrated a reverse coordination with cyclin D1 (χ2 test, p = 0.048), whereas age, sex and TNM staging showed no-statistical significance with DACH1 (Table 1).
