3. Results
Both tissue samples and liquid biopsies can provide complementary
information about the risk of disease progression.1The
results collected concern 515 total cases 241 women and 274 men. The
average age of the patients is 66.3 years, while the 25th percentile is
59 years. Non-parametric tests (ANOVA and Kruskall Wallis Test), showed
a significant difference between the basal group and the one with
mutations. Cases with mutations as expected have an OR of 4.15, compared
to wild types, of progression profile (95% CI: 2.7 - 6.3) regardless of
age and gender. (Tab 2).
