Fig. 3From: Predictive value of a reduction in the level of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer undergoing radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy: a retrospective observational studySurvival curves. A: DFS differed significantly between patients with a serum HDL-C level at baseline ≥ 1.52 mmol/L and those with a serum HDL-C level at baseline < 1.52 mmol/L (median DFS: not reached vs. 26.30 months, P = 0.0005). B: DFS differed significantly between patients with an increased HDL-C and those with a decreased HDL-C after adjuvant chemotherapy compared with baseline (median DFS: 26.12 vs. 80.43 months, P = 0.0204). C: DFS differed significantly between patients with a serum HDL-C level that increased by ≥ 0.32 mmol/L and those with a serum HDL-C level that increased by < 0.32 mmol/L (median DFS: 19.17 vs. 49.70 months, P = 0.0069)Back to article page
