  1. Allred score of TTK was treated as the categorical variable as non-expression (Allred score = 0, n = 214) and expression (Allred score > 0, n = 191).The clinical variables include race, hormone receptors, and mean score of Vimentin, E-cadherin, and Ki67 biomarkers. P-values were derived from Chi-squared tests
