P-value relates to the comparison between wild type and mutation. cMeasurements of tumour size were taken by caliper (n = 45), magnetic resonance imaging (n = 2), physical examination (n = 25) or ultrasound (n = 4). T4 and T4a patients (n = 1 and n = 8, respectively) were excluded from the analysis of tumour size.
