Methylation levels of markers CDO1, SOX17, and TAC1 in the urine supernatant of surgical NSCLC patients, stratified by cancer stage (A) and histological subtype (B). Data is depicted as the median with an interquartile range of square root transformed Ct ratios. Each symbol represents a single case. A P-value of <.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical testing was not performed for NOS due to the low number of patients in this group (n=1). LUAD = lung adenocarcinoma, LUSC = lung squamous cell carcinoma, NOS = carcinoma not otherwise specified. 6
