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).
