LRG1 and colorectal carcinoma: As it is demonstrated above, LRG1 expressed highly in stage III CRC tissues compared to adjacent colorectal mucosa and was clearly associated with differentiation, T stage, and vascular invasion, we next aimed to determine the correlation between LRG1 expression status and DFS and OS for CRC patients using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared the survival curves using the log-rank test.
