| Id-1 | Id-2 | Id-3 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal (n = 6) | Ductal cells | 2.0 ± 0.4 | 2.3 ± 0.2 | 2.5 ± 0.9 |
| Cancer (n = 10) | Cancer cells | 4.5* ± 0.5 | 5.2§ ± 0.3 | 4.5 ± 0.6 |
| CP (n = 9) | Typical CP lesions (n = 9) | 2.7 ± 0.5 | 3.1 ± 0.6 | 3.4 ± 0.7 |
| Dysplastic ducts (n = 4) | 5.3† ± 0.2 | 5.8‡ ± 0.2 | 5.3 ± 0.4 | |
| Atypical papillary ducts (n = 5) | 4.4‡ ± 0.2 | 5.2‡ ± 0.2 | 5.0 ± 0.4 |
Scoring of the histological specimens was performed as described in the Patients and Methods section. Values are the means ± SD of the number of samples indicated in parenthesis. P values are based on comparisons with the respective controls in the normal samples.
*, P < 0.02; †P < 0.01; ‡P = 0.004; §P = 0.001.
