The results showed that GLUT-1 expression was significantly correlated with presence of lymph node metastasis (n=8, OR=2.14, 95% CI=1.66–2.75, p<0.001, Figure 4), T stage (n=6, OR=1.73, 95% CI=1.17–2.58, p=0.007, Figure 4), higher Dukes stage (n=5, OR=2.92, 95% CI=2.16–3.95, p<0.001, Figure 4), female sex (n=4, OR=2.92, 95% CI=2.16–3.95, p<0.001, Figure 4), and presence of liver metastasis (n=3, OR=1.82, 95% CI=1.06–3.12, p=0.03, Figure 4). Here, SLC2A1 is linked to metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
