Chalkley count and relative gene expression of cytokeratin-19 (CK-19 RGE). (a) Correlation analysis of Chalkley count and CK-19 RGE. (b) Chalkley counts of patients with and without bone marrow metastases (according to the cut-off value of 0.77 for CK-19 RGE). Box-and-whisker plot limits depict 75th and 25th centiles and median value (box), and upper/lower quantile ± 1.5 × (interquantile range) (upper and lower whiskers, respectively).
