PBX3, ZEB1 and SNAIL mRNA expression and disease free survival in n=786 colon cancer cases. (A) ROC curves for determining best discrimination thresholds for normalized mRNA expression intensity. Arrows indicate selected sensitivity and specificity cutoff values for binary classification. Values next to gene names are areas under curves (AUC values). (B) Kaplan-Meier plots for disease free survival in this dataset for cases with low and high ZEB1 (cutoff at normalized expression intensity of 39) and SNAIL (cutoff at normalized expression intensity of 106). HR=hazard ratios for cases with high expression. P values are log-rank test results. Ratios on curves indicate the number of events over the number of patients per group. 7 Lamprecht et al, Supplementary Data Suppl. Table S1.
