Discriminant analysis of patients a in various stages of CRC, according to pTNM system or b with different diagnosis of cancer. a In this model 7 variables were used (DMT1, HAMP, TfR2, miR-31, miR-149, miR-182, miR-194); Wilks’ lambda was 0.006, p < 0.0001, n = 71; Stage I (circles), Stage IIA (diamonds), Stages IIIA + IIIB (squares), Stages IIIC + IV (triangles). b In this model 9 variables were used (DMT1, IRP1, IRP2, Tf, miR-31, miR-133a, miR-145, miR-149, miR-194); Wilks’ lambda was 0.046, p < 0.0006, n = 73; Adenocarcinoma tubulare (circles), Adenocarcinoma tubulare/mucinosum (squares), Adenocarcinoma mucinosum (diamonds)
