Table 2.

Correlations among molecular and clinicopathologic features: For the patients with PDA, mutated NGS markers (>3) are listed in red text, while altered IHC markers (>4) are listed in orange text. Using Fisher’s exact test association testing was performed to identify significant variables that correlated between the clinical and molecular variables in patients with PDA. These significant variables are shown on the table. LVI: lympho-vascular invasion, GERD: gastroesophageal reflux disease.
