Comparing invasive tumors with grouped benign tumors and one normal ovary, all five genes demonstrated consistent and highly significant differences in gene expression (Kruskal Wallis p < 0.05, Table 4 ).
Comparing invasive tumors with grouped benign tumors and one normal ovary, all five genes demonstrated consistent and highly significant differences in gene expression (Kruskal Wallis p < 0.05, Table 4 ).
The mean age was lowest for women with normal ovarian samples (49 years, range 41 - 57) followed by those with LMP tumors (52 years, range 25 - 76) compared with benign (61 years, range 46 - 69) and invasive tumors (62 years, range 25 - 80), although these differences did not quite reach statistical significance ( p = 0.08, Kruskal-Wallis test).
