Interestingly, we found that VASH1 expression levels in colon cancer cells were solely positively associated with the distant metastases (p=0.016), but were not correlated with the other factors or clinical outcomes (Supplemental Table 2), further suggesting that VASH1 is important for the dismal prognosis of colon cancer. This evidence concerns the gene VASH1 and malignant colon neoplasm.
