Number of genes in the NanoString panel with significant differences in matched paired analyses of tumour subregions
| LNmet versus PTsup versus PTdeep | GCs compared (n) | Genes sig different, n (% of 770) | A>B n (% of 770) | A>1.5×B n (% of 770) | B>A n (% of 770) | B>1.5×A n (% of 770) |
| PTsup1 versus PTsup2 | 54 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| PTdeep versus PTsup | 57 | 331 (43) | 231 (30) | 45 (6) | 100 (13) | 11 (1) |
| LNmet versus PTsup | 50 | 291 (38) | 105 (14) | 35 (5) | 186 (24) | 54 (7) |
| LNmet versus PTdeep | 46 | 127 (16) | 10 (1) | 5 (<1) | 117 (15) | 75 (10) |
A is the first subregion in the corresponding row of the first column (LNmet vs PTsup vs PTdeep).
B is the second subregion in the corresponding row of the first column (LNmet vs PTsup vs PTdeep).
For example, in the first row, A=PTsup1 and B=PTsup2.
GC, gastric cancer; LNmet, lymph node metastasis; PTdeep, primary tumour deep; PTsup, primary tumour superficial; sig, significant.
