TABLE 2.
Fatigue and Glucocorticoid Receptor Sensitivity at Baseline and 1 Month After Radiotherapy
| N | Pre-IMRT, Mean (SD) | 1-mo After IMRT, Mean (SD) | t Test | p | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fatigue | 76a | 48.3 (16.3) | 53.6 (16.3) | −2.99 | .004 |
| GR sensitivity as measured by the AUC | 77 | 0.37 (0.06) | 0.34 (0.06) | 2.44 | .017 |
| Fatigue increased group | 48 | 0.36 (0.06) | 0.34 (0.07) | 1.19 | .24 |
| Fatigue decreased group | 28 | 0.38 (0.05) | 0.34 (0.04) | 3.46 | .002 |
IMRT = intensive modulated radiation therapy; SD = standard deviation; GR = glucocorticoid receptor; AUC = area under the curve. Paired t test was used for comparison.
