STC1 and colorectal carcinoma: Although STC1 wasn’t correlated with the OS of CRC in validation set (n = 71) (HR: 1.025, 95%CI: 0.468 to 2.244, p = 0.952) and Kaplan–Meier (K-M) survival curves didn’t give any indication about the influence of STC1 expression in overall survival, we couldn’t rule out the prognostic value of STC1.
