Figure 2 Kaplan–Meier survival curves showing the effect of CIMP status on survival according to 5-FU–based chemotherapy treatment. (A) In patients with CIMP-negative tumors, adjuvant chemotherapy clearly provides a survival benefit with a higher probability of DFS (log-rank ). (B) In patients with CIMP-positive tumors, the use of 5-FU–based adjuvant chemotherapy does not improve DFS (log-rank 0.7). Vertical tick marks indicate censored events.

Figure 3 Kaplan–Meier survival curves indicating the effect of chemotherapy on survival according to CIMP status. (A) In patients who received 5-FU–based adjuvant chemotherapy, the existence of a CIMP-positive tumor confers a worse prognosis, with lower DFS (log-rank 0.02). (B) In contrast, in patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy, the situation reverses, and those with CIMP-positive tumors had a better prognosis (log-rank 0.04).
