We observed that the expression level of FBP1 and c-Myc in NPC tissues was significantly higher than in non-cancerous tissues (Figure 1c), and also found that the expression of FBP1 correlated with c-Myc (Spearman's r=0.6786, P<0.0001; Figure 1c, right panel). This evidence concerns the gene MYC and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
