Soluble c-Met Is a Reliable and Sensitive Marker to Detect c-Met Expression Level in Lung Cancer

Figure 3

Correlation of plasma s-Met and c-Met expression level in lung cancer patients. s-Met in plasma was measured, respectively, in 146 Chinese lung cancer patients and 40 disease-free volunteers; individuals were grouped into subgroups according to different c-Met expression levels. And s-Met among subgroups was compared (a); correlation of H scores and IHC scores (b); correlation of H scores and s-Met in c-Met expression positive patients (c); changes of s-Met in Met-overexpressed patients after tumors were removed (d). means there is statistical significance.
