A trend towards higher circulating TSLP level in non-responsive patients was found, but this trend did not reach statistical significance, probably because of the small number of cases and the high inter-individual variation (mean ± SE: 4.96 ± 1.55 vs. 18.82 ± 8.58, p = 0.257) ( Supplementary Figure 3 ).

an increasing trendno p-value reported

When the IRS of the positive tumor cases were stratified by disease stage, there was an increasing trend towards the later stages, without achieving statistical significance, likely because of the high inter-individual expression variations [IRS median (range): 0 (0–120), stage I; 9 (0–140), stage II; 75 (0–104.4), stage III + IV] ( Supplementary Figure 2B ).
