TPL2 expression is correlated with distant metastasis and poor prognosis in colorectal cancer

Tumor progression locus 2 (TPL2) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase kinase (MAP3K). The present study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological significance and prognostic role of TPL2 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) through immunohistochemistry. In the present study, the correlations between TPL2 expression and clinicopathological parameters, including survival rate, were investigated using 262 archival paraffin-embedded CRC tissue samples. In addition, the correlation between TPL2 expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was evaluated using immunoscore.
