  1. Columnar percentage in parentheses. χ2-test of association was used for 2x2 tables and χ2-test for linear trend for tables with more than two rows and/or columns. The categories marked as missing were not included in the analysis. *Significant at the 0.05 level. **Significant at the 0.01 level. MSS = Microsatellite stable, MSI = Microsatellite unstable.
