MUC2 and colorectal carcinoma: Furthermore, although not statistically significant, there was a clear tendency for a lower DFS when tumors have low MUC2 expression, in accordance with the results shown in a very recent paper from Cecchini et al. (2019) [24], in which the authors studied 210 cases of stage II CRC and showed that absence of MUC2 expression was associated with reduced survival.
