Table 11 Expression of CDK4 and GADD45A genes in tumour tissue following starch treatment (data pooled from Studies 1 and 2)
OS (n = 24)SEMRS (n = 30)SEMp Value
CDK4 0.370.160.880.150.02
GADD45A 0.560.301.410.260.04

  • Values are least square means of normalised ratios of expression of individual genes compared with expression of the housekeeping gene 18S adjusted for age, sex, site of cancer, duration of starch treatment, preoperative immunotherapy, preoperative radiotherapy and pretreatment expression of individual genes.
