From: mdm2 mRNA Level is a Prognostic Factor in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Multivariate Cox model for mdm2 mRNA expression and survival of STS patients (stage 2 and 3; n = 52). The threshold for the ratio of mdm2/GAPDH mRNA was set at a value of 50, after threshold sliding in Cox regression analyses. Curves for patients with an mdm2 mRNA level below 50 (−) and ⩾50 (amp;) are significantly different (p = 0.0041). A relative risk of 5.6 of tumor-related death is associated with a mdm2 mRNA level below 50, compared with a higher mdm2 mRNA expression level.
