From: Desmoplasia in cervical cancer is associated with a more aggressive tumor phenotype
(A) Barplot showing the frequency of different risk factors in patients with desmoplastic and non-desmoplastic cervical cancer. *Indicates statistical significance of p < 0.05, **p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001. LVSI, lymphovascular space invasion. (B) Scatterplot showing the linear correlation between patient age and peritumoral desmoplasia. For this comparison, the degree of desmoplasia was linearly transformed and represented on a scale from 0 to 3. Pearson’s r is given as a measure of correlation. (C) Scatterplot showing the inverse correlation between peritumoral desmoplasia and peritumoral inflammation. Both parameters were transformed into linear variables on the scale of 0–3. Pearson’s r is given as a measure of correlation.
