[Retracted] Three Potential Tumor Markers Promote Metastasis and Recurrence of Colorectal Cancer by Regulating the Inflammatory Response: ADAM8, LYN, and S100A9

Figure 1

Clustering dendrogram of 96 samples with clinical data. Clustering was based on expression data for the top 25% most variant genes between tumor and nontumor samples in CRC (only tumor samples with clinical data were analyzed, ). The color intensity is proportional to distant metastasis, tumor stage, lymph node, and sex. Color images are available online. Age: color editing indicates increasing age. Sex: red represents male and white represents female. Meta or recurrence within 3 years: red indicates recurrence or metastasis within three years and white indicates none. Time to meta or recurrence: darker colors indicate an increased time interval between recurrence and metastasis. Gray represents missing information.
