  1. aCase number: Cases 1–23 are the same cases from our previous studies [6,8]. Cases from 24–27 are new cases.
  2. bScoring of immunoreactivity was done as follows: negative, no positive cells; score +, < 10% positive cells; score ++, 10–50% positive cells; score +++, > 50% positive cells.
  3. cMean score: Mean for each group was obtained by the sum of the +'s/number of cases.
  4. *P < 0.001 for malignant vs normal or vs BPH.
