Correlation between mucin expression and the cumulative survival rate.

<p>In the study of the correlation between mucin expression and the cumulative survival rate in patients with appendiceal carcinoma using the Kaplan-Meier method, the survival rate of patients with a positive expression of MUC3 were poorer than those of patients with negative expression of MUC3 (p = 0.004).</p

Multivariate Analysis of Prognostic Factors.

<p>Multivariate Analysis of Prognostic Factors.</p

In appendiceal carcinoma cells (A, D, G, J, M, P and S), MUC1 showed membrane expression (B and C); MUC2 showed supranuclear expression (E and F); MUC4 (H and I), MUC5AC (K and L) and MUC6 (N and O) showed cytoplasmic expression; MUC16 showed membrane expression (Q and R); and MUC17 (T and U) showed supranuclear expression. HE, hematoxylin and eosin stain; IHC, immunohistochemical stain.
