Kaplan-Meier analysis of the impact of CD44s expression on overall survival in patients with ampullary adenocarcinoma. a Overall survival curve of all patients with ampullary adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery by CD44s expression levels (P = 0.6020). b Overall survival curve of ampullary cancer patients without pancreatic invasion. Patients with moderate or dense CD44s expression had decreased overall survival (P = 0.0268). c Overall survival curve of ampullary cancer patients with pancreatic invasion. Patients with moderate or dense expression of CD44s had a trend toward increased survival although it was not significant (P = 0.1512)
