The chi-square test indicated a significant association between AXL and c-ABL expression in the EAC samples (χ2 = 6.873, p = 0.032), and the expression of these proteins was significantly associated with EAC patient age (p < 0.001), tumor stage (p < 0.01), and lymph node status (p < 0.001). Here, AXL is linked to neoplasm.
