We found that both high Gal8 immunoexpression and low Gal8 immunoexpression correlate with tumors smaller than 4 cm, but high Gal8 is associated with an increased number of positive lymph nodes and lympho-vascular invasion, while low Gal8 corresponds to a lower number of positive lymph nodes and tumor emboli. The gene discussed is LGALS8; the disease is neoplasm.
