  1. Abbreviations: Max.: maximum fold-change; Min.: minimum fold-change; Mean Ts vs Ns: average expression levels in tumor lesions vs non-cancerous lesions.
  2. Positive fold-change cases: number of cases in which the gene was expressed more highly in the tumor than in the control (non-cancerous lesion) of each of the 12 cases.
