In addition, high RBP‐Jκ expression was associated with dedifferentiation (p = 0.037), invasion beyond the propria muscularis (p = 0.037), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.004), distance metastasis (p < 0.001) and advanced TNM stage in this cohort of patients (p < 0.001; Table 1). Here, RBPJ is linked to metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
