Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicating the effect of chemotherapy on survival according to CIMP status. In patients who received 5-FU based adjuvant chemotherapy (panel A), the existence of a CIMP-positive tumor confers a worse prognosis, with lower disease-free survival (DFS). In contrast, in patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (panel B) the situation reverses, and those with CIMP-positive tumors had a better prognosis. Vertical tick marks indicate censored events.
