AKIP1 and neoplasm: In terms of tumor features, no correlation of tumor AKIP1 expression with pathological grade (P > .999) (Figure 3A), tumor size (P = .060) (Figure 3B), N stage (P = .180) (Figure 3D), or tumor location (P > .999) (Figure 3F) was observed, whereas tumor AKIP1 high expression was associated with elevated T stage (P < .001) (Figure 3C) and raised TNM stage (P = .042) (Figure 3E).
