Figure 1. Prognostic value of βIII-tubulin expression in predicting the biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy in HNPC prostate cancer patients.

A, B, C. Representative staining for βIII-tubulin in HNPC TMAs: absence of staining (A), moderate staining (B), strong staining (C). Photomicrographs are taken at x20 objective magnification (A–C) and x10 objective magnification; insets (A–C). Scale Bar, 100μm.
D. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) curves stratified by the expression of βIII-tubulin (negativity versus positivity of immunostaining, log-rank test; p=0.002). HNPC: hormone naive prostate cancer; TMA: tissue micro-array.
