Table 1

Comparison of the average number of PGCCs per 100 tumor cells in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) and without nCRT.

Group	n	Average number of PGCCs per 100 tumor cells	Value of statistic
nCRT	275	11.5 ± 6.34	F = 35.38	0.001
Non-nCRT	301	3.7 ± 1.54

nCRT, neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy.
