Table 1.
Imbalances of 5p and 12p in the different stages of CRC.
Chromosome arms | 5p | 12p | ||
Tumor types | Gain/Total | Pa | Gain/Total | Pa |
Carcinomatoses | 4/6b | 4/6b | ||
Primary carcinomas | 3/10 | 0.302 | 1/10 | 0.036 |
Recurrences | 1/13bb | 0.017 | 1/13b | 0.017 |
Liver metastases | 5/37b | 0.012 | 6/37b | 0.020 |
a Comparison between carcinomatoses and the other stages of the CRC were performed using two-sided Fisher exact test. b Multiple samples from the same tumor were counted as one sample.
