  1. Percent of crypts with high expression in cancer resections are shown in order, from left to right, for 10, 3 or 1 cm proximal to and for 1, 3 or 10 cm distal to the cancer. Percent of crypts with high expression in tubulovillus adenoma resections are shown in order 10 cm and 1 cm from the tumor. A dash indicates that the tissue sample was not available for immunostaining. N.D. indicates Not Done
