The correlations between the relationship of pStat3 and interleukin-6, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and Her2neu were measured using the χ2 test. 0 is no staining, 1+ is weak staining, 2+ is moderate staining and 3+ is strong staining for pStat3, tyrosine-phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and IL-6. |
