Clinical significance of subcellular localization of KL-6 mucin in primary colorectal adenocarcinoma and metastatic tissues

Figure 2 Kaplan - Meier curves for overall survival rates of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. Patients with KL - 6 expression in the circumferential membrane and/or cytoplasm (solid line, group C, n = 46), in the apical membrane (dashed line, group A, n = 29) and without KL - 6 staining (dotted line, group N, n = 5) were followed up for more than 70 mo. Two of 82 patients were excluded from the data analysis as described in Materials and Methods.
