Expression of CAF-Related Proteins Is Associated with Histologic Grade of Breast Phyllodes Tumor

Figure 3

Overall survival curves according to the status of CAF-related proteins in stromal component of phyllodes tumor. (a) Univariate analysis showed that stromal expression of PDGFRα was associated with shorter overall survival in phyllodes tumor. (b) Stromal expression of PDGFRα was associated with shorter overall survival in malignant phyllodes tumor, although statistical significance was not reached regarding PDGFRα expression. (c) Stromal expression of PDGFRβ was associated with shorter overall survival in malignant phyllodes tumor. CAF, cancer-associated fibroblast; PDGFR, platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
