Cause-specific survival curves for patients with CCRCC based on VHL alterations and VEGF expression. (A) Survival curves for patients based on VHL alterations and plasma VEGF (solid line, patients with at least one VHL alteration and plasma VEGF<92.5 pg ml−1, n=48, 47.1%; dotted line, patients with at least one VHL alteration and plasma VEGF ⩾92.5 pg ml−1, n=43, 42.1% and broken line, patients with a wild-type VHL, n=11, 10.8%). (B) Survival curves for patients based on VHL alterations and tumour VEGF expression (solid line, patients with at least one VHL alteration and less than 30% of cells expressing VEGF, n=40, 39.2%; dotted line, patients with at least one VHL alteration and more than 30% of cells expressing VEGF, n=51, 50.0% and broken line, patients with a wild-type VHL, n=11, 10.8%).
