Objectives: To evaluate p63 expression pattern in Saudi colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and correlate that with clinicopathological parameters and its role in carcinogenesis and prognosis.Methods: Archival tumor samples were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for p63 expression in 324 consecutive Saudi patients diagnosed with CRC between January 2006 and December 2017 at the Pathology Department of a tertiary care Hospital, Madinah, Saudi Arabia.Results: P63 over-expression was absent in normal mucosa, while 12.5% cases of adenoma showed its overexpression. In CRC, p63 expression was high in 24.1% of cases. There were no significant correlations between p63 expression and gender, tumor location, tumor size, and tumor histologic differentiation. However, high p63 expression revealed a significant correlation with age (p=0.035), tumor type (p=0.004), American Joint Committee on Cancer stage (p=0.046), lymph node metastasis (p=0.006), lymphovascular invasion (p=0.006), distant metastasis (p=0.049) high Ki67 expression (p=0.000) and K-ras expression (p=0.002). The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a shorter period of survival with p63 over-expression (p
