The ln(odds) values (ln(OD)) between benign and malignant lesions stratified by size

	M†	B‡	p
size*(cm)>= 2
n	111	51
ln(OD)	1.65a	-0.61a	< 0.001#

ln(OD)	0.36a	-0.62m	< 0.028§

^†M: malignant; ^‡B: benign (including high-risk lesions); ln(OD): ln(odds).

*size: determined by the pathologic size (across the largest diameter).

^a: Average, mean ln(OD).

^m: Median ln(OD).

^#: Student's t-test; ^§: Mann-Whitney U test.
