RRP Patient Stats
The statistics that follow are based on RRPF questionnaire responses. Although suggestive trends are apparent, there has been no attempt to determine statistical significance, so caution is urged in drawing conclusions from the numbers below. In addition to these data, results regarding adjuvant therapies are presented on page 5. Tables 1 - 3 provide a breakdown of the patients in the support group who have reported to us, based on sex and age; the sample sizes range from 486 to 547 for tables 1-3.
