  1. Table shows the Galectin 3 (Gal3) cell count (positive cells/mm2) and the ratio of Gal3 positive cells and CD68 positive cells in oscc biopsy specimens in view of histomorphologic parameters (T-, N-, L-, Pn-status, grading). Results for the epithelial tumor compartment and the whole analyzed area (epithelial + stroma) are given. Values represent the median, standard deviation (SD) and p-value (ANOVA)
