Figure 1

LN counts for MSI status and tumor location in the colon. (A) Total node counts according to MSI status (MSS, MSI-L or MSI-H). The asterisks indicate statistical significance. (B) The total LN counts for MSI status according to location in either the proximal or distal colon. The box-and-whiskers plot shows the medians, interquartile ranges and 95% CIs, and the circles/asterisks indicate outliers. (C) Adequate LN harvest improved significantly within the MSS cancers for proximal cancers. Adequate harvest proportion increased significantly with addition of MSI to either location (P = 0.001 for trend).
