Axin-expression in correlation with tumour invasion. Box-plots of expression values of constitutive normal (con) and alternative (alt) forms in correlation with stage T (tumour invasion). T: carcinoma, M: mucosa; t = 2: Tumour invades muscularis propria, t = 3: Tumour invades through the muscularis propria into the subserosa, or into nonperitonealized pericolic or perirectal tissues, t = 4 : Tumour directly invades other organs or structures, and/or perforates visceral peritoneum (cases N = 14).
