Fig. 3From: Integrating HECW1 expression into the clinical indicators exhibits high accuracy in assessing the prognosis of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinomaLow HECW1 expression is predictive of unfavorable clinicopathological characteristics and poor postoperative prognosis in ccRCC patients. (a) A flow chart of the present study is shown. (b) Representative images of H&E and IHC staining of HECW1 in ccRCC specimens are presented (scale bar = 20 μm). The expression level of HECW1 in ccRCC was evaluated by the H-score method. (c) A time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine the optimum cut-off value of HECW1 in the randomized training cohort (at a 3:2 ratio). (d-g) Kaplan-Meier curves for the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of ccRCC patients were analyzed according to HECW1 expression in the randomized training cohort (d, e) and validation cohort (f, g) (at a 3:2 ratio)Back to article page
