HIPK2 Overexpression and Its Prognostic Role in Human Papillomavirus-Positive Tonsillar Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Figure 3

Overall survival (a, c) and disease-free survival (b, d) by HIPK2 expression status in the resection group receiving postoperative radiation therapy according to HPV status. HIPK2 overexpression is strongly correlated with decreased overall survival (a) and disease-free survival (b) in the patients with HPV-positive tonsil cancers. However, HIPK2 expression was not associated with overall survival (c) or disease-free survival (d) in the patients with HPV-negative tumors.
