Similarly, the expression of CYTOR in CRC was also negatively correlated with disease- or recurrence-free survival in the TCGA database (Fig. 1f), GEO GSE38832 database (Fig. 1l), GEO GSE39582 database (Fig. 1n), GEO GSE17536 database (Additional file 2: Figure S1B), GEO GSE24549-GPL5175 database (Additional file 2: Figure S1J), and GEO GSE24550-GPL11028 database (Additional file 2: Figure S1K). Here, CYTOR is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
