Gut mucosal microbiota profiles linked to colorectal cancer recurrence

Figure 1 Microbial alpha-diversities showing significant differences at adjacent-tumor site. A: Alpha diversity evaluated using Chao1 index; B: Alpha diversity evaluated using Fisher index; C: Alpha diversity evaluated using observed operational taxonomic unit index; D: Alpha diversity evaluated using Shannon index; E: Alpha diversity evaluated using Simpson index. health: Healthy control; nn: Off-tumor site of patient without colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence; nr: Off-tumor site of patient with CRC recurrence; pn: Adjacent-tumor site of patient without CRC recurrence; pr: Adjacent-tumor site of patient with CRC recurrence; tn: On-tumor site of patient without CRC recurrence; tr: On-tumor site of patient with CRC recurrence. Alpha-diversity differences were compared using student’s t-test.
