Table 2. Descriptive statistics for MIC-1 expression (mRNA levels) in noncancerous and cancerous prostatic tissues.
Meana | Standard errora | Mediana | Rangea | P-valueb | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MIC, noncancer (N=66) | 71 | 27 | 6.7 | 0.03–116 | |
MIC, cancer (N=66) | 264 | 106 | 32 | 0.21–5581 | <0.001 |
% Increasec | 273% | — | 375% |
These values are corrected for actin expression and are unitless ratios.
Calculated by the Wilcoxon's signed rank test.
Compared to cancer and assuming that the value in noncancerous tissue is 100%.
