Although N-cadherin expression occurred more often in ill-defined PCa (27/70, 39%) than in glandular Gleason grade 3 (21/75, 28%; p = 0.22), glomeruloid Gleason grade 4 (2/10, 20%; p = 0.31), solid fields (0/4, 0%; p = 0.29), cords and single cells (2/8, 25%; p = 0.70) Gleason grade 5 PCa, the difference did not reach statistical significance. Here, CDH2 is linked to posterior cortical atrophy.
