We also used time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (Fig. 3b) to compare the predictive accuracy of the SELENBP1 expression, with AUCs of 0.519, 0.486, and 0.393 for 1 year-, 3 year-, and 5 year- OS, respectively, and it demonstrated the good sensitivity of this prognostic model in predicting long-term prognosis of CRC. This evidence concerns the gene SELENBP1 and colorectal carcinoma.
