VCAM-1 expression showed a significantly positive correlation with larger tumour size (T3 + T4) (χ2 = 6.219, r = +0.274, P = 0.012), presence of lymph node metastasis (χ2 = 3.971, r = +0.219, P = 0.047), and extrathyroidal extension of tumours (χ2 = 11.350, r = +0.370, P = 0.001) as compared to their respective counterparts. Here, VCAM1 is linked to neoplasm.
