Figure 2

Relative telomere lengths, expressed as T/S values, in tumours (K) and adjacent normal mucosa (N) in (A) all samples, and (B) according to tumour stage I, II, III, or IV. Boxes and whiskers represent the 25th–75th and 10th–90th percentiles, respectively; the median is the central line in each box. *P<0.0001. (C) Correlation between age and relative telomere lengths in tumours and normal mucosa. (D) Receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve for telomere lengths in tumours and normal mucosa using T/S values. Sensitivity (y axis) was plotted against the false-positive fraction (100-specificity). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) is 0.91 (95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.87–0.95).
