Core Tip

Core tip: This study examined the expression of fibrous sheath interacting protein 1 (FSIP1) in 302 patients with colon carcinoma and analysed the follow-up data. The results showed that FSIP1 expression was not correlated with sex, age, tumour size, or other factors but was positively correlated with tumour pathological T/N stages and negatively correlated with tumour differentiation. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and survival analysis showed that high expression of FSIP1 was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis, and overall survival was worse in the FSIP1-high expression group than in the FSIP1-low expression group. So we speculate that FSIP1 plays a role in the carcinogenesis of colon cancer.
