Table 2

Expression of p-mTOR in carcinoma tissues: a survey of 134 cases.

Organ	Carcinomas	Total cases	p-mTOR (+) cases	Intensity
Stomach	Adenocarcinoma	5	4	++
Colon	Adenocarcinoma	4	4	+++
Pancreas	Adenocarcinoma	2	2	+++
Lung	Adenocarcinoma	4	4	++
	Squamous cell carcinoma	3	1	+
Liver	Hepatocellular carcinoma	5	2	++
Kidney	Renal cell carcinoma	3	1	±
Bladder	Urothelial carcinoma	102	23	++
Skin	Squamous cell carcinoma	2	2	++
Lymph node	Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma	2	2	+++
