borderline significanceP = 0.05
Other established prognostic factors were not significantly correlated to SPF. Correlations of only borderline significance (P = 0.05) were found between ploidy status and hormone receptor status as well as menopausal status: 39 (87%) of all 45 diploid tumours were steroid hormone receptor positive compared with 30 of 45 (67%) aneuploid tumours.
