Figure 2From: Expression of survivin detected by immunohistochemistry in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus is associated with prognosis of leiomyosarcoma and synovial sarcoma patients Multivariate Cox's regression hazard analysis. Survivin expression in the cytoplasm and/or in nucleus is correlated with a poor prognosis for leiomyosarcoma and synovial sarcoma patients. Survivin expression in the cytoplasm (A) and in the nucleus (B) A: Upper curve: weak expression; 2nd curve: strong expression; 3rd curve: negative expression and lower curve: moderate expression of survivin in the cytoplasm. B: Upper curve: weak expression; 2nd curve: negative expression and lower curve: moderate expression of survivin in the nucleus. Combined expression of survivin in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus (C) C: Upper curve: Survivin expression both in cytoplasm and in nucleus weak (all IRS = 3-4); 2nd upper curve: all other cases and lower curve: Survivin expression in cytoplasm moderate or strong and survivin expression in nucleus moderate (all IRS ≥ 6).Back to article page
