Relationship between prognosis and glucose transporter-1 and Ki-67 expression in obstructive colon cancer pre and post stent placement

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curves of recurrence-free interval with glucose transporter-1 in malignant large bowel obstruction. A: Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating that tumor glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) expression is associated with 3-year recurrence-free interval (RFI) in pre-self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) biopsies (P = 0.026); B: Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating that tumor GLUT-1 expression is associated with 3-year RFI in post-SEMS surgical tissues (P = 0.001). GLUT-1: Glucose transporter-1; SEMS: Self-expandable metallic stent.
