Overall and disease-free survival curves assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis according to Tbeta10 expression and TNM stage. (A) Overall survival. High expression of Tbeta10 predicted poorer overall survival (OS) not only for early TNM stage (TNM stage I to II, group 1 versus group 2; P = 0.001), but also for advanced TNM stage (TNM stage III, group 3 versus group 4; P <0.001). (B) Disease-free survival. High expression of Tbeta10 predicts poor DFS for both early TNM stage (group 1 versus group 2; P = 0.003) and advanced TNM stage (group 3 versus group 4; P = 0.011). Group 1, early TNM stage/Tbeta10 low expression (n = 72); group 2, early TNM stage/Tbeta10 high expression (n = 74); group 3, advanced TNM stage/Tbeta10 low expression (n = 10); group 4, advanced TNM stage/Tbeta10 high expression (n = 40).
