Changes in extracellular matrix in different stages of colorectal cancer and their effects on proliferation of cancer cells

Figure 5 Cancer cells co-cultured with colorectal cancer extracellular matrix and normal tissue extracellular matrix in vivo. A: The volume of tumor in colorectal cancer extracellular matrix (ECM) was bigger than that in the normal tissue ECM; B: When comparing every two tumor volumes, the differences between stage I ECM and normal tissue ECM and between stage I ECM and stage II ECM were not statistically significant (P = 0.526 and 0.152, respectively).
