The correlation of cell density (positive cells/mm²) of Galectin 3 (Gal3) positive cells and CD68, CD11c, CD163 and MRC1 expressing cells. Results for the epithelial compartment of oscc tumor resection specimens are given. Values represent the Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value.
Significant correlations are marked with an * and printed in bold letters
