Twenty-five cases of canine TCC were divided into two groups, depending on the EGFR
protein expression score obtained through immunohistochemistry: low- (scores 0, 1 and
2, n=7) and high- (scores 3, n=18) expression groups. Survival times were compared
between the low- and high-expression groups using Kaplan-Meier’s survival curves.
Significant correlation was not observed between survival times and EGFR expression
levels in TCC (P=0.82) with a hazard ratio of 1.12 (95% confidence
interval, 0.41–3.05) as a result of statistical analysis by the Cox regression
model.
