Fig. 5: Violin plots showing the significant associations between distances of immune cell populations from malignant cells and clinicopathologic features.
From: Immune cellular patterns of distribution affect outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer
Significant differences in distance between malignant cells and immune cells are shown by (A) smoker status, (B) tumor size, (C) final stage, and (D) mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma (n = 142) specimens. E Significant differences in distances between malignant cells and immune cells by tumor size are shown for lung squamous cell carcinoma (n = 83) specimens. Violin plots showing the median bar value, lower adjacent value and outside points. Kruskal-Wallis test was used in A to E comparisons between groups. Data from 225 samples was used. Graphs were generated using GraphPad Prism v.9.0.0 using the 128 measurements from malignant cells to different tumor-associated immune cells (TAICs) and between important TAICs and the relevant clinicopathologic information using un-adjusted P-values. (Source data is provided as a source data file).
