Table 2.
Statistical comparison of the mean physiological parameter indices computed for different kinds of tissues (HM, AD, CA) and regarding different characteristics (neoadjuvant therapy, tumor classification); blue = no statistical difference p > 0.05; red = * p ≤ 0.05; yellow = ** p ≤ 0.01; white = *** p ≤ 0.001. The symbol # denotes independent datasets.
