CDH1 and neoplasm: Similar relationships were not found in the analysis of the T category, but the above-described correlations for the N and M categories resulted in further dependencies; TNM classification was negatively correlated with E-cadherin expression in the budding sites (r = −0.29; p = 0.032), tumor center (r = −0.39; p = 0.003), and invasive front (r = −0.51; p = 0.0001), while it was positively correlated with E-cadherin expression in the lymph nodes (r = 0.66; p = 0.0001).
