Figure 1 p53 expression pattern was associated with tumor budding status in T1 CRC patients.
Note: (Top) Tumor with many buds at the invasive front (A) positively expressed of p53 (B). (Bottom) Tumors with negative budding status at the invasive front (C) barely expressed p53 (D).
Abbreviation: CRC, colorectal carcinoma.

Table 2 Univariate and multivariate risk analysis of lymph node metastasis in submucosal invasive colorectal carcinoma
Figure 2 ROC curves of the three adverse factors.
Note: The combination of these three factors provided the highest AUC value (AUC: 0.76), indicating optimal predictive ability of LNM status.
Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; LNM, lymph node metastasis; ROC, receiver operator characteristic.
