Figure 2 Examples of different categories of the tumor-stroma ratio.
H and E stained 2 µm paraffin sections of primary rectal adenocarcinoma. TSR-high (carcinoma percentage ≥ 70%), TSR-intermediate (carcinoma percentage 40%, 50% and 60%), and TSR-low (carcinoma percentage ≤ 30%). TSR: Tumor-stroma ratio.
Figure 3 Kaplan-Meier survival curves of overall survival, disease free survival and disease specific survival by categorized tumor-stroma ratio.
A: Overall survival; B: Disease free survival; C: Disease specific survival. P-values of Log-rank statistics. TSR-high (carcinoma percentage ≥ 70%), TSR-intermediate (carcinoma percentage 40%, 50% and 60%), and TSR-low (carcinoma percentage ≤ 30%). TSR: Tumor-stroma ratio.
