Lower TFU and RTL were associated with OS. (A) Patients with a lower TFU had statistically significantly poorer OS than those patients with higher TFU. (B) Lower RTL patients had statistically significantly poorer OS. (C) After excluded Dukes D stage patients, lower TFU still predicted a poorer OS. (D) Lower RTL was associated with short OS, although the difference was not significant. TFU, telomere fluorescent intensity units; RTL, relative telomere length; OS, overall survival.
