Fig. 3From: Presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis in esophagus and its association with the clinicopathological characteristics and survival in patients with esophageal cancerKaplan-Meier Survival Analysis of the relationship between the presence of P. gingivalis and the expression of Lys-gingipain and the overall survival rate of ESCC patients. Higher expression of the P. gingivalis whole cell antigens (a) or Lys-gingipain (b) were both positively related with poorer overall survival rate of ESCC patients. The p value is 0.036 (a) and 0.048 (b) respectivelyBack to article page
