Figure 1 Immunohistochemical staining for connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in gastric carcinoma (× 400).
Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier survival curves for patients with a low (–––) or a high (-----) expression of CTGF (A) and for those at stage I+ II + III with a low (–––) or a high (-----) expression of CTGF (B).
The survival of patients with a low CTGF expression was significantly longer than those with a high CTGF expression, P = 0.0178 (A) and P = 0.0027 (B), respectively.
