ORs with 95% CI were used to evaluate the association between CD133 expression and clinicopathological factors, including depth of invasion, differentiation, lymph node status and lymphatic invasion.
Also, the depth of genomic differentiation between phylogroups is high and characteristic of vicariant sub-populations that have long been diverging independently through accumulation of de novo mutations, drift and lineage sorting.
Depth of tumour invasion, differentiation, lymph node metastasis, venous invasion and lymphatic invasion were based on microscopic examination of materials obtained by surgical resection.
There are some conflicting reports about the correlations of Fas/FasL expression--studied by immunohistochemistry (IHC) method--and tumor size, depth of invasion, metastasis, differentiation and Lauren's classification of gastric tumors [ 18, 19].
In summary, this meta-analysis indicated that CD133 expression was not associated with common clinical parameters of CRC, such as depth of invasion, tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and lymphatic permeation.
The results of our study, that Ki-67 expression corresponds with tumor size, degree of differentiation, depth of invasion, lymphatic metastasis, TNM staging and prognosis, are associated with a previous report [ 37].
Furthermore, in all investigated cohorts, KRAS mutation frequency was statistically not related to gender, tumour location, depth of invasion, grade of differentiation or tumour morphology.
One clarified the association between CD133 expression and clinicopathological parameters, including depth of invasion, degree of differentiation, lymph node status and lymphatic invasion.
> -wrap-foot> *One sample non-parametric chi-square test **Mann–Whitney test There was no significant correlation between c-MET expression and age, sex, degree of differentiation, depth of tumour invasion, tumour stage, presence of nodal metastasis, lymphovascular invasion, status of surgical margins and presence of nodal distant metastasis.
