ALK and colon mucinous adenocarcinoma: ALK rearrangement was significantly associated with younger age (P = 0.011), high T-stage (P = 0.025), high pathologic stage (P = 0.002), solid predominant adenocarcinoma with mucin production (P = 0.006), invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (P = 0.009), and receipt of adjuvant therapy after surgery (P = 0.036), but no significant associations were found between the ALK rearrangement and sex or smoking status.
