Patients with colon cancer were divided into four groups based on tumor stage. mRNA expressions of Dectin-3 in tumor tissues were detected by qPCR. The box represents the 25th to 75th percentile, and the whisker plots represent the minimum and maximum percentiles. Patients with colon cancer were divided into two groups based on fungal burden in the feces. mRNA expressions of Dectin-3 was compared between these two groups.
