Expression and Clinical Significance of the Autophagy Proteins BECLIN 1 and LC3 in Ovarian Cancer

Table 4

Correlation of LC3 expression with patients overall survival. (a) Group of BECLIN 1 positive tumours; (b) group of BECLIN 1 positive and negative tumours.

(a)

% LC3 positive	Survivors 5 y	DOD	Number of cases
<20%	3	6	9
≥20%	20	1	21
Total	23	7	30

Chi-square = 13.5
DF = 1
P = 0.0002.

(b)

% LC3 positive	Survivors 5 y	DOD	Number of cases
<20%	7	11	18
≥20%	23	1	24
Total	30	12	42

Chi-square = 16.34
