  1. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation or frequency as number (percentage). Chi-square, student's t, ANOVA tests were used.
  2. Adeno adenocarcinoma; Muci Mucinous carcinoma; Signet Signet ring carcinoma; Undif undifferentiated carcinoma; LN lymph node; LVI lymphovascular invasion; DFS disease-free survival; OS overall survival.
  3. *Tumors were staged clinically according to the TNM classification of colon cancer. Bold values indicate statistically significant at P < 0.05.
