TM expression levels in tumor tissues from patients with CRC correlate with OS and DFS.

<p>Patients displaying lower TM levels exhibited reductions in both DFS (A) and OS rates (B). According to Kaplan-Meier analysis, the OS rate of patients displaying lower TM levels was lower than that of patients displaying higher TM levels (p = 0.0218). Low TM expression in patients with CRC was associated with a reduced DFS rate (p = 0.036).
