High EGFR expression was found to be significantly related with tumor differentiation (OR=1.96, 95%CI: 1.14-3.34, Z=2.43, P=0.015), lymph node metastasis (OR=2.20, 95% CI: 1.63-2.96, Z=5.17, P=0.001), and tumor stage (OR=2.13, 95% CI: 1.35-3.36, Z=3.25, P=0.001). The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
