Correlation of histopathologic characteristics to protein expression and function in malignant melanoma
Fig 2
(A) Overall survival of the prognostic groups, “survivors” (group 1) and “non-survivors” (group 2). (B) All ten cases were subjected to rigorous review both on histological and clinical grounds. (C) Those were omitted (lighter grey text), where the tumor content of the examined tissue was low (<10%) or the clinical follow-up data resulted in non-disease-specific outcome measures (one patient in group 2 died without evidence of malignancy). Abbreviations: l: left; r: right; LN met: lymph node metastasis; CNS: central nervous system; tx: therapy. Numbers in brackets mean lymph nodes containing metastatic melanomas / all lymph nodes dissected from either the groin or the axilla: nmetastatic/nall.
