Expression of HGF/Met in NPC primary lesions and possible effect on OS.
Notes: (A) Expression of HGF/Met in NPC. The left panels are HGF-/Met-negative while the right panels are HGF-/Met-positive. The HGF protein was diffuse around stroma while the Met protein mainly distributed on the cell membrane. (B) The OS analysis of NPC patients. Met expression was a single prognosis factor for OS of NPC patients. Met expression positivity was more common in poor OS cases (P=0.13).
Abbreviations: Cum, cumulative; NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; OS, overall survival.
