Nuclear Notch3 Expression is Associated with Tumor Recurrence in Patients with Stage II and III Colorectal Cancer

Background The importance of Notch signaling in colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis has been recently recognized. However, the significance of Notch3 expression and its association with Notch1 expression in CRC is unclear. In the present study, we investigated Notch1 and Notch3 expression in Stage II and III CRC to assess their association with clinicopathological characteristics.
