a slight trendp = 0.19
In the group that got the "abnormal" results (the ambiguous result of MSI-H tumour with various immunohistochemistry results), men (n = 14) appeared to show a slight improvement in QOL, though not statistically significant (p = 0.53) while women (n = 13) showed a slight trend toward decrease in self-rated QOL (p = 0.19), but again, not statistically significant.
