(A ) Correlation between circulating tumour cell (CTC) number and circulating POMC in SCLC patients (Spearman correlation, P =0.0002, n =43). (B) Overall survival according to circulating POMC levels. Broken line <100 pmol l−1, solid line >100 pmol l−1. SCLC patients with elevated circulating POMC (>100 pmol l−1) had a significantly worse overall survival compared to those with normal POMC (<100 pmol l−1, P=0.02, Mantel–Cox test: <100 pmol l−1, n=36, >100 pmol l−1, n=7).
