Figure 2From: Hyperfibrinogenemia is associated with lymphatic as well as hematogenous metastasis and worse clinical outcome in T2 gastric cancerOverall survival after surgery for 240 patients with T2 gastric cancer (A) and 165 patients with T3/T4 gastric cancer (B) according to the existence of hyperfibrinogenemia. The group with hyperfibrinogenemia (>310 mg/dl) showed a significantly lower survival rate than another group (≤310 mg/dl) in T2 cancer. There was no statistically significant survival difference in T3/T4 cancer according to the plasma fibrinogen level.Back to article page
