Matched-pair analysis for nuclear localization of VDR also showed statistically higher expression in normal epithelial cells located 2 cm from the tumor (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test p = 0.04) and in normal epithelium located near (0.5–2.0 cm) the tumor (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test p = 0.0005) (Figure 1C). Here, VDR is linked to neoplasm.
