High Apelin Level Indicates a Poor Prognostic Factor in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Figure 2

Immunohistochemical analysis of the correlation between apelin and the clinical outcomes of muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients. (a) The typical staining of high and low expressions of apelin in muscle-invasive bladder cancer tissues. (b) The negative staining of apelin in normal bladder tissues. (c) Kaplan-Meier analysis of the associations between apelin protein expression and the overall survival and disease-free survival of patients.
