Figure 2 X-Tile analysis of survival data from the SEER database. (A) The X-Tile plot displays red coloration of cut-points, indicating a negative correlation with survival, while green coloration represents a positive correlation. The plot illustrates patient age divided at the mean age, and the optimal cut-point is highlighted by a black circle located in the middle of the color bar. (B) The histogram of the entire cohort reveals that the optimal cut-off value of age at diagnosis is 73 years, based on cancer-specific survival (CSS). The X-axis represents the age of patients, and the Y-axis represents the number of patients at each age. (C) The Kaplan-Meier survival curve is generated based on these cut-off values.
