Table 1. Mean and median cfDI and cfDNA concentration of recurrent and non-recurrent groups calculated from ALU and LINE1 targets, and P-values of Wilcoxon rank sum tests comparing cfDI and log2cfDNA concentration between recurrent and non-recurrent breast cancer patients.
Group | Index | Recurrent Patients | Non-Recurrent Patients | Comparison | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean ± SD | Median | Mean ± SD | Median | P-value | ||
ALU | cfDI | 0.51±0.14 | 0.52 | 0.62±0.16 | 0.62 | 7.95E-05 |
cfDNA conc (ng/μl) | 1.16±3.42 | 0.21 | 0.55±0.19 | 0.25 | 0.16 | |
LINE1 | cfDI | 0.43±0.15 | 0.39 | 0.56±0.19 | 0.54 | 1.11E-04 |
cfDNA conc (ng/μl) | 1.43±4.26 | 0.26 | 0.53±0.40 | 0.33 | 0.17 |
Statistically significant P < 0.05 in the univariate and multivariate analysis is highlighted in bold.
