High accordance in prognosis prediction of colorectal cancer across independent datasets by multi-gene module expression profiles.

A considerable portion of patients with colorectal cancer have a high risk of disease recurrence after surgery. These patients can be identified by analyzing the expression profiles of signature genes in tumors. But there is no consensus on which genes should be used and the performance of specific...
