Figure 3. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.

Figure 3

A. Significant differences of the DFS according to the EPCAM expression status in 216 patients with MSI-high CRC (discovery cohort). B. Significant differences of the DFS according to the EPCAM expression status in 725 patients with CRC (validation cohort). C. In the stage-stratified survival analysis using the validation cohort, significant differences of the DFS according to the EPCAM expression status were also maintained in patients with stage III CRC (n = 258). D. In the treatment-stratified survival analysis using the validation cohort, significant differences of the DFS according to the EPCAM expression status were also maintained in patients with stage III or high-risk stage II CRC treated with 5-fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 377). In all Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, EPCAM-CL cases (n = 2 in the discovery cohort and n = 1 in the validation cohort) were excluded due to the extremely small sample size.
