Biomarker expression for Ki67, COX-2, and Cx43 was assessed using a standard immunoexpression scoring system: S1: 0–10%, S2: 11–25%, S3: 26–50%, S4 > 50%; EGFR was scored based on membrane staining intensity: 0, 1+, 2+, 3+; we classified p16 as positive or negative; p53 was grouped into mutant and wild-type; and we compared these across histopathological types, tumor grades, anatomical locations, gender, and different age groups. Here, GJA1 is linked to neoplasm.
