  1. Category denoted as negative refers to tumours with SATB1 nuclear score (NS) = 0, intermediate to NS 1–3 and strong to NS > 3. § Chi square test for linear trend. R = Spearmans correlation coefficient.The categories marked as not done and unknown were not included in the analysis. *Significant at the 0.05 level. ** Significant at the 0.01 level. N1 = 1-3 positive nodes, N2= > 4 positive nodes. MSS = Microsatellite stable, MSI = Microsatellite unstable. Beta-catenin grade: 0 = score 0–1, 1 = score 2–3, 2 = score 4–5.
