Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Recurrence-Free Survival Associated With Empty Spiracles Homeobox 2 (EMX2) mRNA Expression. Quantitative Reverse-transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) in 129 Adenocarcinoma Patients

Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Overall Survival (OS) Associated with Empty Spiracles Homeobox 2 (EMX2) mRNA Expression. (A) OS in 144 Patients with Adenocarcinoma; OS in 91 Stage I Patients Using (B) 1.29 and (C) 6.77 as Cut-off Points; (D) OS in 53 Stage II–IV Patients; (E) OS in 63 Patients with Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma (BAC); and (F) OS in 81 Pure Adenocarcinoma Patients

Empty Spiracles Homeobox 2 (EMX2) Expression Is Downregulated in Lung Adenocarcinoma.(A) Quantitative Reverse-transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) Result of 64 Tumors and Their Matched Normal Lungs is Shown. Twenty-fifth and 75th Percentiles are Represented as Box Margins, 10th and 90th Percentiles are Represented as Error Bars, and the Median is Represented as a Line in the Box. Outlying Data are Represented as Dots (90%–95% Percentile) and Stars (Greater Than 95% Percentile). (B) and (C); (D) and (E): Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Examples of EMX2 Protein in Matched Normal Lung Tissues ((B) and (D)) and Tumor Tissues ((C) and (E)) From 2 Adenocarcinoma Patients. EMX2 Protein is Represented by Positive Nuclear Staining. Pictures were Taken Under Using a Light Microscope (Magnification 40×)
