Chi-squared analysis was performed to verify the association among dichotomized TULP3 gene expression and the clinical variables: gender, pathologic primary tumour extension (pT), pathologic lymph node involvement (pN), pathologic distant metastasis (pM), pathologic stage (pTNM), residual tumour, history of colon polyps, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, cancer status and hypermutated status. The gene discussed is TULP3; the disease is cancer.
