Figure 1.
Comparison of gene expression means between group A and B.
Different gene expression means between patients with radically resected colon cancer patients showing an unfavourable cancer stem cell gene profile, GROUP A, (red) and radically resected colon cancer patients showing a favourable cancer stem cell gene profile, GROUP B (blue) as stratified by K-means (K = 2) method.
Figure 2.
Comparison of median time to relapse between group A and B.
Kaplan-Meier curves for median time to relapse (TTR) of radically resected colon cancer patients showing an unfavourable cancer stem cell gene profile, GROUP A (——) vs. radically resected colon cancer patients showing a favourable cancer stem cell gene profile, GROUP B (-------) (22.1 months vs. 42.8 months, p = 0.02).
