Figure 2From: Detection of carcinoembryonic antigen messenger RNA in blood using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to predict recurrence of gastric adenocarcinomaDisease-free survival of patients according to CEA mRNA expression. Three-year disease-free survival of CEA mRNA-positive patients was significantly lower than that of CEA mRNA-negative patients (43.9% versus 74.1%, respectively; P = 0.001).Back to article page
