This suggests sustained benefits from inpatient education, although the 180-day model was of borderline significance.

Breast cancer tumours in TGFBR1 * 6A carriers were also slightly more poorly differentiated, indicating that the TGFBR1 * 6A variant might be associated with tumour grade even though our material of grade III tumours ( n =75), from the population-based cohort, is small and the association of borderline significance only.

BMI, height and number of pregnancies were insignificant effects, and mean breast volume and parenchyma type were of borderline significance (results not shown).

High EPHA2 IRS was correlated with increased tumor vertical thickness (Mann–Whitney U test, p = 0.03, Figure 2 ), the presence of intrascleral involvement (Fischer’s exact test, p = 0.05) and the presence of metastatic disease (Fischer’s exact test, p = 0.09), the latter correlation, however, being of borderline significance.

Impact of sCAMS and Clinicopathological Characteristics on Overall Survival The univariable analysis showed that occurrence of liver and multiple organ metastasis was associated with a greater risk of progression, brain metastasis, higher grading, and sVCAM-1 levels above-median were of borderline significance.
