Table 2. PDEF expression in prostate tissue: matched samples of cancer v/s benign, Cancer v/s PIN and PIN v/s benign.
Type of Match X v/s Y | Number of matched samples | Number of samples with more* PDEF in X | Number of samples with more* PDEF in Y | P value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cancer v/s benign | 101 | 68 (68%) | 33 (32%) | 0.0006 |
Cancer v/s PIN | 41 | 28 (70%) | 13 (30%) | 0.0275 |
PIN v/s benign | 45 | 19 (42%) | 26 (58%) | 0.3713 |
More PDEF reflects higher percent of PDEF-positive epithelial cells or higher intensity of staining or both.
