FIGURE 1.

Increased expression of junctional adhesion molecule‐A (JAM‐A) in surgical specimens of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma. A, JAM‐A was strongly expressed on the cell membrane in adenocarcinoma cases. Left panels, H&E staining; Right panels, immunohistochemistry of JAM‐A. B, Immunoreactive score (IRS) of JAM‐A in surgical specimens of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma. C, D, Kaplan‐Meier curve analysis. Relapse‐free survival was significantly shorter in the group with high immunoreactive scores (≥27) of JAM‐A. ADC, adenocarcinoma; AIS, adenocarcinoma in situ; CE, cervical epithelia; OS, overall survival, RFS, relapse‐free survival. Bar = 50 µm
