(A) Overall survival and (B) recurrence-free survival depicted according to MCPyV status, for all disease stages. Upon adjustment for the independent effects of disease stage and nodal status, statistical analysis revealed that patients with MCPyV-positive tumors showed a trend toward a longer overall survival (p=0.065) when compared to patients with no detectable virus. Values in bold indicate statistical significance. MCPyV+ (solid line) and MCPyV- (dashed line) patients (28, 29).
