Text: Overexpression of SLPI correlated with different grades (moderate or good differentiation : 2. 7 % low expression versus 97. 3 % high expression, low differentiation : 41. 7 % low expression versus 58. 3 % high expression), TNM stage (I or II : 4. 2 % low expression versus 95. 8 % high expression ; III or IV : 19. 7 % low expression versus 80. 3 % high expression), lymphatic metastasis (18. 6 % low expression versus 81. 4 % high expression) and distal metastasis (86. 5 % low expression versus 13. 5 % high expression), but not with patient age or sex (P = 0. 613, P = 0. 871).
