Increased Avidity of the Sambucus nigra Lectin-Reactive Antibodies to the Thomsen-Friedenreich Antigen as a Potential Biomarker for Gastric Cancer

Figure 6

The probability of survival of gastric cancer patients in relation to the avidity of SNA-positive anti-TF antibodies. Patients with avidity index values lower than, equal to (a dashed line), or higher than median (a solid line) are compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. The hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval and values are shown. Patients: (a) stage 1; (b) stage 2; (c) stage 3; (d) stage 4.
