Prognostic significance of SUVmax and serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in pancreatic cancer

Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier curve for the survival time of patients with pancreatic cancer according to their standardized maximum uptake value or serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (n = 80). A: Standardized maximum uptake value (SUVmax) and survival; upper line, low SUVmax of primary tumor (< 5.35) (n = 40); lower line, high SUVmax of primary tumor (≥ 5.35) (n = 40); B: Serum Carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 and survival; upper line, low serum CA19-9 (< 604.5 U/mL) (n = 40); lower line, high serum CA19-9 (≥ 604.5 U/mL) (n = 40); C: SUVmax plus CA19-9 and survival; upper line, low SUVmax (< 5.35) or serum CA19-9 (< 604.5 U/mL) of primary tumor (n = 51); lower line high serum SUVmax (≥ 5.35) plus serum CA19-9 (≥ 604.5 U/mL) of primary tumor (n = 29).
