SUFU and colorectal carcinoma: We found that 70.4% of CRC patients had lower SuFu mRNA expression, which is comparable to previous observations by wang et al. [41] We, for the first time, evaluated SuFu expression in relation to a number of demographic and clinicopathological variables and found that low SuFu expression is associated with late stage, the presence of positive axillary lymph nodes, lower education level, recurrence, female sex, and passive smoking.
