Figure 6. Associations of CTC/mL counts and clinicopathological parameters.

Figure 6

A. Spearman rank correlation (rs) matrix of CTC/mL counts (All=summed traditional, clusters, CK− and apoptotic) and clinicopathological parameters for the 41 patients with mCRPC in our cohort. Correlations are given and indicated according to the colour scale in the legend). Statistical significance of each comparison is indicated by the cell border thickness according to the legend. B. Significant (p<0.05, Mann-Whitney test) associations between CTC counts (and clinicopathological parameters) with the presence/absence of visceral metastases are shown. C. All, traditional and non-traditional CTC counts stratified by patient status (dead vs. alive) at 18 months are plotted (40 of 41 patients evaluable at that time point). p values from Mann-Whitney tests are shown. D. Kaplan-Meier analysis for all, traditional, and non-traditional CTC counts for overall survival time for all 41 patients. For each CTC type, patients were stratified by having > or ≤ median CTC count/mL. Log-rank test p values are shown. Plots for each non-traditional CTC type for C&D are shown in Figure S2.
