Correlation of molecular variables with clinical outcome. Using 24 months as the cutoff value, all the recurrences were divided into early recurrences (⩽24 months) and late recurrences (>24 months). Distribution of mRNA values of SERPINB3 (A) and of the molecular variable TGF-β1 (B), which was found significantly correlated at transcription level with SERPINB3, is reported. Central bars represent mean and external bars represent s.e. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction.
