  1. 1Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for age, sex, AJCC stage, TP53, and KRAS mutations, CIMP, and MSI. T1, Tertile 1 and Referent group; T2, Tertile 2; T3, Tertile 3; tertiles are based on the distribution of the Differential Pathway Expression Score with higher tertile having greater differential expression. Bold text highlights those pathways that were statistically significantly associated with colorectal cancer-specific survival.
