  1. † One-way ANOVA was used to assess the association of SOD2 with pN.
  2. ‡ The expression levels of SOD2 for Patient Cohort #1 were based on the relative mRNA level. The expression levels of SOD2 for Patient Cohort #2 were generated from Immunohistochemistry. The p-values were computed using one-way ANOVA.
