Figure 6

Serum concentrations of HSP27 (A) and HSP70 (B) in patients with TETs compared to healthy volunteers are shown. Patients with TETs were further separated into patients with TC and thymoma. Serum concentrations for HSP27 (C) and HSP70 (D) are shown. Serum levels of HSP70 in patients with TETs compared to patients with TH and volunteers is shown (E). Analysis of HSP70 serum concentrations in patients with TC compared to thymomas and TH is shown (F). Serum concentrations of HSP27 in patients with MG compared to volunteers is shown (G). Spearman rho correlations for HSP27 (H) and HSP70 (I) with WHO classification is shown. Pearson correlation for HSP27 and HSP70 serum concentrations are shown (J). Paired T-Test was performed to analyze fold decrease of HSP27 and 70 serum concentrations after tumor resection (K).
