    <p>Knowledge scores of non-genotyped students on the post-course survey compared to the pre-course survey improved by an average of 1% (46% to 47%), while genotyped students demonstrated an average 31% improvement (38% to 69%). Bar graphs show mean (±S.D.) percentage score on knowledge questions.</p

    <p>(<b>A</b>) Kaplan-Meier analysis comparing multivariate models based on clinicopathologic data (<i>left</i>) and clinicopathologic data plus the tri-marker proliferation index (<i>right</i>). Cases are grouped by tertile. Log-rank test <i>P</i>-values are indicated. (<b>B</b>) ROC curve analysis comparing multivariate models based on clinicopathologic data (<i>left</i>) and clinicopathologic data plus the tri-marker proliferation index (<i>right</i>). Analysis done at 8 years follow-up (the median follow-up time for the cohort). Areas under the curve (AUC) are indicated.</p

    <p>(<b>A</b>) Immunostaining of proliferation markers Ki-67, TOP2A and E2F1; representative positive and negative cases shown. (<b>B</b>) Pairwise comparison of immunostain scores across cases. Pearson correlation (R) values shown. (<b>C</b>) Kaplan-Meier analysis of Ki-67 (<5% <i>vs.</i> ≥5% tumor nuclei), TOP2A (<5% <i>vs.</i> ≥5% tumor nuclei) and E2F1 (<50% <i>vs.</i> ≥50% tumor nuclei) immunostaining. <i>P</i>-values (log-rank test) shown. (<b>D</b>) Kaplan-Meier analysis of combined marker staining (see keys). <i>P</i>-values (log-rank test) shown.</p

    <p>(<b>A</b>) Unsupervised cluster analysis of prostate cancers (data set from ref. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0020293#pone.0020293-Lapointe1" target="_blank">[19]</a>) reveals molecular subtypes of prostate cancer (1, 2 and 3, labeled), and gene-expression features reflecting underlying biological processes. <i>Left</i>, thumbnail heatmap of the cluster analysis. <i>Right</i>, enlarged view of the “proliferation cluster”, with selected genes shown (<i>MKI67</i>, <i>TOP2A</i> and <i>E2F1</i> in red text, marked by arrow). Red and green expression levels reflect high and low values, respectively (see key). Red filled circles (<i>below</i>) identify lymph node metastases. (<b>B</b>) Overlap matrix of proliferation cluster genes (N = 94) with canonical pathway (CP) gene sets identifies top gene set matches (all significant, <i>P</i><0.001) all relating to cell-cycle/proliferation. Solid blue fill indicates overlapping membership between proliferation cluster and queried gene sets.</p
