Table 1 Characteristics of patients among cluster-poor and cluster-rich groups. Continuous variables represented as mean ± SD. Abbreviations: PCI = peritoneal cancer index, BMI = body mass index, WHO = world health organization, n corresponds to the number of patients for which the data was available. Significant differences are in bold (adjusted significance threshold p=0.0055 after Bonferroni correction)
