(a) Heat map of microRNA deregulation in positive LN vs negative LN FFPE grade 1–2 EC primary tumor specimen. One hundred and forty-two probes had consistent normalized fluorescent intensities between the two groups, negative LN vs positive LN (P<0.05). (b) Volcano plot. Abscissa is the logarithmic value of the level of variation (LogRatio) and ordinate is the negative logarithm of the statistical value (−log (p)) of fluorescence intensities of the hybridized probes from positive or negative LN samples. There was more than a twofold change in normalized fluorescence intensity of 12 microRNAs (blue triangle) between the positive LN vs negative LN groups (P<0.05): 7 have decreased intensity (on the left) and 5 have increased intensity (on the right). EC, endometrial cancer; FFPE, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded; LN, lymph node.
