EMX2OS and cancer: We found that the EMX2OS expression level was significantly related to several clinicopathological features of KIRC, including gender (p = 0.001), cancer status (p < 0.001), race (p = 0.021), histological grade (p < 0.001), tumor size (T stage, p < 0.001), lymph node stage (N stage, p = 0.008), distant metastasis (M stage, p = 0.001), and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage (p < 0.001) (Table 1).
