Percentage of positive cases and average positivity, intensity, and total scores for nuclear p-Akt per lesion category.

	Number and %; of positive cases	Average positivity; score	Average intensity; score	Average total; score
OLP	37/40 (92.5%)	2.00	1.53	3.53
NM	9/9 (100%)	1.78	1.78	3.56
OL	17/17 (100%)	2.94*	2.71*	5.65*
