ECOG indicates Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; SWOG, Southwest Oncology Group.

*

35 cases coded as unfavorable; one inv(16) case with −5 coded as favorable.

Sole abnormality in 10 cases; 49 of 52 coded as unfavorable. Three cases coded as favorable due to presence of t(8;21) or inv(16).

Sole abnormality in 25 cases; 19 cases coded as unfavorable and 6 cases coded as favorable because of the presence of other abnormalities.

F2-153

Other than t(8;21).

F2-155

Sole abnormality in 18 cases; 41 coded as favorable; 9 cases coded as unfavorable: 7 with del(9q) and 2 cases with complex karyotypes.

F2-154

All coded as favorable. Sole abnormality in 18 cases. Three cases with complex abnormalities.

#All coded as favorable. Sole abnormality in 40 cases. Three cases with −7/7q− or −5/5q− (2 with complex karyotypes).

F2-160

Percentages for −Y are based on the 325 males only.

F2-164

Complex abnormalities per MRC criteria for 609 patients accounted for 31 patients (9%) in the ECOG cohort and 22 patients (9%) in SWOG for a total of 53 patients (9%).
