Quantification of extracellular matrix-related and immune-related fibroblast markers in the cohort of stage III colon cancer according to the tumor-stroma ratio and to the location. The markers of the extracellular matrix-related (a) and the immune-related (b) fibroblast panels expressed at the invasive part of the tumor were averaged according to the tumor-stroma ratio. The extracellular matrix-related fibroblast markers (c) and the immune-related fibroblast markers (d) were also compared between the tumor center and the invasive part in the whole cohort. Independent t-test on log-transformed data, mean ± SE, * P value < 0.05
