Colorectal cancer cases were categorized as: (A) translocation from cytoplasm to membrane and with enhanced intensity; (B1) translocation but without enhanced intensity; (B2) no translocation but with enhanced intensity; or (C) no translocation and without enhanced intensity. mp, muscularis propria; NS, not significant; por,muc, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma or mucinous carcinoma; ss, subserosa; well,mod, well or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.
