Table 4.

Comparison of proportions of each radiographic finding between commonly reported malignancies.

Malignancy Comparison GGO Nodules Tree-in-bud Septal thickening Mediastinal/ hilar adenopathy Infiltrates/ consolidations Pleural effusion
Gastric Breast N/A 0.12 (−6.41–63.9) N/A 0.02 (6.08–86.6) N/A 0.79 (−42.5–46.5) 0.52 (−32.0–59.6)
Gastric Lung 0.75 (−28.5–57.0) 0.09 (−3.73–83.9) 1.000 (−47.4–47.4) 0.25 (−12.0–71.7) N/A 0.79 (−42.5–46.5) N/A
Gastric Non-gastric 0.10 (−4.49–45.6) 0.24 (−11.6–43.8) N/A 0.05 (0.164–66.0) N/A 0.28 (−16.3–52.0) 0.27 (−15.8–56.7)

This table illustrates statistical significance of CT findings between different types of malignancies in cases of PTTM. Septal thickening is a radiographic feature that is statistically more common in gastric cancer than in breast cancer or all non-gastric cancer cases. P values are listed with 95% CIs in parentheses.

Comparison of proportions online calculator was used for this statistical analysis (https://www.medcalc.org/calc/comparison_of_proportions.php)

N/A, comparison of proportions cannot be done in cases if proportion is either 0% or 100%.
