Analysis of TCTP expression according to the clinical parameters of CRC patients, such as age, gender, lymphoma metastasis, tumor size, pathological grade, American Joint Committee On Cancer (AJCC) stage, and Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) stage showed that TCTP expression was positively associated with high pathological grades (P=0.014) and metastatic TNM stage (stage IV, P=0.006) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene TPT1 and lymphoma.
