Platelet-Derived Growth Factors in Non-GIST Soft-Tissue Sarcomas Identify a Subgroup of Patients with Wide Resection Margins and Poor Disease-Specific Survival

Figure 2

Disease-specific survival curves for PDGF-B and the coexpression of PDGF-B & PDGFR-α in the overall material and in patients with wide and nonwide resection margins. (a) PDGF-B, total material; (b) PDGF-B, wide resection margins; (c) PDGF-B, nonwide resection margins; (d) coexpression of PDGF-B and PDGFR-α, total material; (e) coexpression of PDGF-B and PDGFR-α, wide resection margins; (f) coexpression of PDGF-B and PDGFR-α, nonwide resection margins. Abbreviations: PDGF: platelet-derived growth factor; PDGFR: platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
