Figure 1
Molecular characteristics of colorectal cancers in relation to the number of methylated genes. Marked in blue, cases with 0-4 methylated genes; in green, cases with 5-6; in red, cases with 7-8 methylated genes. For the definition of MLH1 methylation cases within SCRC, tumours showing MLH1 methylation were counted individually, whether or not were in the same individual. MSI: Microsatellite Instability. EOCRC: Early-onset colorectal cancer. Abbreviations: LOCRC=Late-onset colorectal cancer; SCRC=Synchronous colorectal cancer. A full colour version of this figure is available at the British Journal of Cancer journal online.
