Table 5 Comparison of Cox proportional hazards models for disease-free survival in patients with stage II/III colorectal cancer when adding TIL status to models with tumour grade, MMR or BRAF status (labelled X) or vice versa.

From: Tumour infiltrating lymphocyte status is superior to histological grade, DNA mismatch repair and BRAF mutation for prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinomas with mucinous differentiation
