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%.
