Myeloid Cells in Circulation and Tumor Microenvironment of Colorectal Cancer Patients with Early and Advanced Disease Stages

Figure 5

Comparison of levels of tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells with TNM disease stages and tumor budding grades in TT of CRC patients. CRC patient samples were divided into two groups based on TNM stage: localized disease (stages I and II; TT, ) and regional lymph node or distant metastases (stages III and IV; TT, ) and into three groups based on tumor budding classification (low, ; intermediate, ; and high, ). Cumulative scatter plots show differences in absolute count (a) and relative percentage (b) of GMCs, MMCs, IMCs, and APCs in TT of CRC patients with different TNM stages. Cumulative scatter plots show differences in relative percentage of GMCs, MMCs, IMCs, and APCs in TT of CRC patients with different tumor budding grades (c). Data depict the .
