Correlation regression analysis showed that the downregulation of TMEM170B was significantly correlated with the pathological stage (P = 0.035) and the TNM (tumor, node and metastasis) status (T status, P = 0.028), and upregulated β-catenin expression was significantly correlated with the pathological stage (P = 0.014, Supplementary Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene TMEM170B and neoplasm.
