Potential of damage associated molecular patterns in synergising radiation and the immune response in oesophageal cancer

Figure 7 Corrplots illustrating the correlation values for the expression and co-expression of damage associated molecular patterns in oesophageal adenocarcinoma blood and tumour pre and post treatment, correlated with clinical demographics and characteristics. Patient clinical features included age, weight (pre-treatment, kg), BMI (pre-treatment, kg/m²), neo-adjuvant treatment received, treatment response (determined by radiographic features using PET/CT), tumour regression grade (TRG), clinical tumour stage and nodal involvement, pathological tumour stage and nodal involvement, BMI (post-treatment, kg/m²), weight (post-treatment, kg), serosal invasion and lymph-vascular invasion. Blue indicates a positive correlation, red negative correlation. Spearman correlation. Significant data shown only. Spearman r 0.4-0.59 moderate, 0.6-0.79 strong and 0.8-1 very strong. ^aP < 0.05.
