Table 1b. Association of ERG oncoprotein status with tumor differentiation and Gleason pattern of individual tumors (N=261).
| Tumor grade | ERG status | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Negative (N=144) | Positive (N=117) | ||
| Tumor differentiation | |||
| Gleason pattern 3 (Well differentiated) | 100 (62.5%) | 60 (37.5%) | 0.0027 |
| Gleason pattern 4/5 (moderate/poorly differentiated) | 44 (43.6%) | 57 (56.4%) | |
| Tumor Gleason sum | 0.0094 | ||
| 6 | 100 (62.5%) | 60 (37.5%) | |
| 7 | 26 (41.3%) | 37 (58.7%) | |
