*

P-values are from Fisher's exact test or Kruskal-Wallis test, as appropriate.

**

Patients may have multiple sites of metastasis and some patients may have unavailable data on their sites of metastasis.

The P-value in each row is computed for testing the association of each metastasis site and p53 mutation.
