GATA3 and neoplasm: Most of the previous studies that have examined GATA3 IHC expression in relation with tumor size and/or the presence of lymph node metastasis did not find any association [23,29,33,44,45,46]; however, four studies analogously reported an inverse association between GATA3 and tumor size [16,17,18,45], and only one reported low GATA3 expression associated with lymph node metastasis [16].
