Survival curves of the expression of MUC family genes. Kaplan-Meier curves analyze the relationships between survival and expression of MUC1 (A), MUC2 (B), MUC5AC (C), and MUC6 (D), where those patients with tumors negative for the gene expression are shown with solid lines, and those with tumors positive for the gene expression are shown with dashed lines. The open circles (○) indicate censored patients with tumors negative for the gene expression, and the open squares (□) indicate censored patients with tumors positive for the gene expression.
