MSF expression was determined in NB, NB-T and T tissues. Tissues and age of the patients are described in Table 1. Results indicate the MSF epithelial score, as mean ± SD (first line), median and interquartile range (second line). The difference between older and younger patients was determined by unpaired two-tailed Mann Whitney test
