"Three-panel biomarker analysis. Panel a plots sensitivity against 1 minus specificity for CASP3, p53, and LINC-ROR; LINC-ROR has an AUC of 0.653, cutoff 44.1, sensitivity 65.4 percent, and specificity 77.8 percent. Panel b shows p53 survival curves with median overall survival of 13 months for negative, 16 for weak, and 20 for moderate and strong groups. Panel c shows median survival of 22 months for low LINC-ROR and 15 months for high LINC-ROR."
