The heat maps of correlation coefficient (a) and the associated values (b) of tumor progression patterns. The development of liver-only metastasis showed significantly negative relations with other kinds of progression patterns and these relationships were more obvious in the early progression group (earlier than 1 year since surgery) than those in the late progression group (later than 1 year since surgery) among the whole, head, and body/tail groups.
