CXCL1 and colorectal carcinoma: Multivariate analysis after adjustment revealed that the T stage (P=0.008), M stage (P<0.001), and CXCL1 expression (P=0.013) were independent prognostic factors for OS (Table 2), whereas the T stage (P=0.013), N stage (P=0.027), and CXCL1 expression (P=0.037) were independent prognostic factor for DFS in CRC patients (Table 3).
