Fig. 1 Immunohistochemical staining showing S100A4 expression. (A) S100A4-negative CRC; stromal cells, e.g., fibroblasts and lymphocytes, show physiologic S100A4 expression. (B) S100A4-high positive CRC. (C) Overview of stained slide of multisampled tissue block.

Fig. 2 Kaplan–Meier overall survival curves for 709 patients with colorectal carcinomas grouped according to their S100A4 expression. (a) S100A4-negative cases (n = 372). (b) S100A4-low positive cases (n = 223). (c) S100A4-high positive cases (n = 114). Test statistics: log-rank test (2 degrees of freedom [df]), P < 0.0001; Wilcoxon statistic (2 df), P < 0.0001.
