KITLG and neoplasm: As Figure 2 illustrates, the patients with SCF plasma levels above the mean value did not exhibit significantly (p = 0.2967) higher tumor volumes (n:24, mean: 35.78 ± 23.03 cm3) in comparison with the patients with below the threshold levels of plasma SCF (n:34, 29.04 ± 23.03 cm3).
