¹Valid percentages. Missing data as follows: histology (n = 10); grade (n = 26); T stage (n = 26); N status (n = 83); M status (n = 3); TNM stage (n = 7); lymphatic invasion (n = 51); vascular invasion (n = 48); metachronous tumor (n = 1); KRAS (n = 314); BRAF (n = 323); MSI-H (n = 326);

²Right colon = appendix, ascending colon and transverse colon, Left colon = descending colon and sigma;

³Grade 1 = well differentiated, grade 2 moderately differentiated, poorly differentiated;

⁴Obstruction or perforation at presentation. CRC: Colorectal cancer; NOS: Not otherwise specified; LVI: Lymphovascular invasion; VVI: Venovascular invasion; MSI-H: Microsatellite instability- high.
