Table 3 Comparisons of baseline miRNA levels in early breast cancer patients according to tumor characteristics. The differences were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test and the corresponding p-values are indicated in the table (significant p-values are indicated in bold). (pT: tumor grade; pN: lymph node status; G: tumor grade)
