Figure 2

Chromogranin A transcript expression level of and degree of lymph node involvement by tumor. The mean (and SEM) expression level of 3 different CgA primers, namely CHGA Hs00900369_s1 (2a), CHGA Hs00900371_s1 (2b), and CHGA Hs00900373_s1 (2c) is shown. The expression level of CgA differs significantly in all three primers (pā€‰<ā€‰.0001, pā€‰=ā€‰.0004 and pā€‰<ā€‰.0001 respectively). Post-hoc testing shows significantly higher expression in the ā€˜total replacementā€™ group than in the ā€˜nilā€™ or ā€˜minimal tumorā€™ groups for all primers. In addition, post hoc tests show a significant difference between ā€˜Nilā€™ and ā€˜partial replacementā€™ in the primer shown in 2c.
