Figure 3. Kaplan-Meier estimates of 5-year relapse-free recurrence and survival proportion in 128 HNSCC patients.
(a) Patients with SMs have significantly higher recurrence rate, (b) Patients with SMs have significantly lower survival rate, (c) Patients with SMs in EGF-like domain (representing majority of SMs found in this study) have significantly higher recurrence rate, (d) Patients with SMs in EGF-like domains may have significantly lower survival rate.
