Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Soluble Syndecan-1 in Pleural Malignancies
Figure 5
Strong cellular immune-reactivity for syndecan-1 on malignant cells correlates with higher levels of soluble syndecan-1 in pleural effusions. Spearman correlation was used to test the goodness of fit between levels of soluble syndecan-1 and cell bound syndecan-1 intensity times the percentage of positive tumour cells (semiquantitative ICC score; ; ). ICC = immunocytochemistry.
