Table 3. Copy number and outcome.

Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) are displayed for the recurring regions and other commonly reported CNAs in Ewing sarcoma. Both adjusted and unadjusted P values are displayed. Outcome is adjusted for age at diagnosis greater than 10 years and the presence of metastatic disease at diagnosis. The regions on Chromosome 20q remain significant after adjustment and therefore have the strongest independent correlation with clinical outcome.
