  1. ANO1 expression was significantly higher in the group with tumor size (>10 cm, positive rate, 81%) than group with tumor size (5–10 cm, positive rate, 78%) and group with tumor size (≤5 cm, positive rate, 48%). No significant correlation was found between ANO1 expression and other clinical parameters.
  2. Values of *p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
