Proteins to differentiate localized (T) and metastatic (M) CRCs. Statistical analysis revealed 47 differentially expressed proteins. These proteins were presented using clustering analysis (a) and principal component analysis (b). The expression of selected significant protein candidates among different groups, e.g., normal, tumor (T), and metastasis (M), was provided in c and d, in which the y-axis showed the relative intensities of the proteins quantified in each tissue group.
