Immunohistochemical expression of MYC and ITGA1 were compared with their respective expression in the normal colonic epithelium as shown in Figure 5 where scores of 0, 1 or 2 were attributed in the tumor relative to the staining intensity observed in the corresponding resection margin for the upper gland/surface epithelium (=0), the lower half of the gland (=1) or stronger than the lower half of the gland (=2). MYC and ITGA1 expressions are significantly correlated in 72.3% of the studied tumors (47 cases, weighted κ=0.70, P<0.0001, bold values).
