PTTG mRNA expression in primary tumors of patients with tumor recurrences. (a) Boxplot shows the PTTG expression in primary tumors of all patients (n = 89) who suffered from a recurrence (positive, n = 49) versus the patients who did not develop a recurrence (negative, n = 40) within the 5-years observation period (P = 0.009). Boxplot (b) shows the distribution of PTTG mRNA levels in primary tumors in comparison to those levels in tumors of pN0 (n = 25) staged patients with (positive) and without (negative) a tumor recurrence (P = 0.006).
