Table 3.
Comparison of cancer collagen orientation (A:I ratio) between clinically significant and insignificant prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer | n | df * | t-Value | p | Mean | ∆mean | 95% CI of ∆mean |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Significant Cancer | 9 | 27.72 | 10.87 | <0.001 | 4.57 | 1.95 | 1.58 to 2.32 |
Insignificant Cancer | 21 | 2.62 |
* df, degrees of freedom; ∆mean, the difference between the means in each group; F-test found unequal sample variances; Gleason score ≥ 4 + 3 was considered to be significant prostate cancer.
