Relationships between TGF-β concentration in blood serum and the Treg percentage in peripheral blood and the tissue of ovarian tumors
| Parameters | Without pathology of ovary | Benign tumor | Borderline tumor | Ovarian cancer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relationships between TGF-beta and Treg percentage in peripheral blood | rs = 0.03 | rs = −0.18 | rs = −0.29 | rs = 0.32 |
| p = 0.87 | p = 0.37 | p = 0.4 | p = 0.13 | |
| Relationships between TGF-beta and Treg percentage in the tissue of ovarian tumors | rs = 0.09 | rs = −0.09 | rs = −0.07 | rs = 0.05 |
| p = 0.69 | p = 0.64 | p = 0.83 | p = 0.8 |
