Figure 2.
Mesothelin expression based on histology. Any level of mesothelin expression was seen in a significantly larger proportion of thymic carcinoma (n=27, 79%; middle column) than thymoma (n=3, 10%; left column) (P<0.0001). Mesothelin expression was absent in thymic neuroendocrine tumors (right column). Tumors showing 100% mesothelin expression included 12 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 1 uncategorized case of thymic carcinoma and 1 case of B3 thymoma. T: thymoma; TC: thymic carcinoma; TNET: thymic neuroendocrine tumors.
