The CYP2C8*4 allele was the only genotype that was associated with tumour characteristics. The percentage of patients with at least one CYP2C8*4 allele is indicated in relation to the tumour characteristics.

*Large and inflammatory tumours were treated by neoadjuvant therapy; therefore there is no information presented on these tumours.
