Fig. 8From: A transcriptome-based global map of signaling pathways in the ovarian cancer microenvironment associated with clinical outcomeSynergistic association of RFS with the levels of AA and cytokines in ovarian carcinoma ascites. a–c Patients were trichotomized for RFS analysis, using the best fit thresholds determined in Fig. 7: group 1, cytokine and AA high; group 2, one high/one low; group 3, both low. See “Methods” for details. d Pearson correlation matrix for soluble mediators in ovarian cancer ascites shown to be of particular relevance in the present study. The heatmap depicts different levels of positive correlation (red: high, yellow: low, corresponding to a range of R = 0.5–1.0)Back to article page
