Figure 1. CDCA2 is upregulated in LAC tissues and correlates with more aggressive clinical characteristics in TCGA dataset.
(A) CDCA2 is over-expressed in 94.7% (54 of 57) of LAC tissues compared with para-tumor normal tissues. (B and C) CDCA2 was found to be positively correlated with Ki-67 (r = 0.8189, p < 0.0001) and DNA ploidy (p < 0.0001) in LAC tissues. (D) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that higher CDCA2 expression is associated with worse overall survival in LAC patients (HR = 1.919, p = 0.0002).
