The relationship between FBP1 expression, SUVmax, and tumor grade in patients with ccRCC. (a) The relationship between SUVmax and the staining score of FBP1 in ccRCC. When the score of FBP1 staining was 0, 1, 2, or 3, SUVmax of ccRCC was 7.7 ± 5.8, 6.5 ± 1.3, 5.4 ± 2.8, and 4.2 ± 3.2, respectively. (b) SUVmax analysis in high-grade ccRCC and low-grade ccRCC. SUVmax was higher in patients with high-grade ccRCC (mean, 11.6 ± 5.0) than in those with low-grade ccRCC (mean, 3.8 ± 1.6, ). (c) FBP1 expression levels in patients with high-grade ccRCC and low-grade ccRCC. FBP1 expression was significantly lower in patients with high-grade ccRCC (mean, 0.23 ± 0.1) than in those with low-grade ccRCC (mean, 0.57 ± 0.08; ).
