Data represent the median (range) unless otherwise indicated. p value based on Kruskal–Wallis test for sequential items followed by Mann–Whitney U test adjusted by Holm's method and Fisher’s exact test for nominal categories followed by the test for equal proportions adjusted by Holm’s method. Superscripts e, o, and c indicate significant difference compared with endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancer, respectively
