Figure 2. Comparison of discriminatory performances between stromal and epithelial POSTN expression in predicting postoperative prognoses of stage I–III CRC patients in both cohorts.
A. stromal POSTN expression predicted DFS of CRC patients in Shanghai cohort. B. epithelial POSTN expression predicted DFS of CRC patients in Shanghai cohort. C. stromal POSTN expression predicted DSS of CRC patients in Shanghai cohort. D. epithelial POSTN expression predicted DSS of CRC patients in Shanghai cohort. E. stromal POSTN expression predicted DSS of CRC patients in Guangzhou cohort. F. epithelial POSTN expression predicted DSS of CRC patients in Guangzhou cohort. Abbreviations and marks: CRC, colorectal carcinoma; DFS, disease-free survival; DSS, disease-specific survival; •, P > 0.05; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
