P values (2-sided) were calculated using the Student t test.

P values (2-sided) were calculated using the χ2 test or the Fisher exact test.

P values (2-sided) were calculated using 1-way analysis of variance.

§

Proximal: Middle body, upper body, fundus, or cardia.

||

Distal: Antrum, angle, or lower body.

Gastric wall involvement was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography in 57 patients.

#

Fifty-three cases with available tissue specimens for assessment of expression patterns of p-SHP-2 and p-ERK by immunohistochemical staining.
