Fig. 3From: Thromboelastography (TEG) parameters as potential predictors of malignancy and tumor progression in colorectal cancerTEG parameters in CRC patients with different stages by TNM staging system. Data was described by box plot (median and 5th–95th percentile). Comparison of TEG parameters between A primary tumor status T1 (n = 50), T2 (n = 62), T3 (n = 110), and T4 (n = 164); B regional lymph node status N0 (n = 236), N1 (n = 103), and N2 (n = 47); C tumor metastasis status M0 (n = 345) and M1 (n = 41); and disease stages I (n = 104), II (n = 122), III (n = 119), and IV (n = 41) of CRC patients. P was tested by Jonckheere-Terpstra for an ordered difference in medians. *P was tested by the Kruskal–Wallis test and adjusted by Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparison. *Represents the P < 0.05. **Represents the P < 0.001Back to article page
