Twenty‐two of the studied cell lines were divided into three groups, according to the rate of their LN metastasis: high LN metastis group, incidence higher than 80%; intermediate LN metastasis group, 26%≤ 80%; low LN metastasis group, ≤25%. A, the number of mice in which CRC cells were orthotopically implanted, B, the number of mice that successfully formed local tumors in cecum; C, the number of mice with LN metastasis; D, the number of mice with liver metastasis; E, the number of mice with peritoneal dissemination; NA, not applicable.
