Associations of clinical and pathologic parameters in SCC with TERT mutation status.

TERTwt = TERT promoter wild-type; TERTmut = TERT promoter mutant.*Estimates of mean survival from Kaplan Meier method (median survival not reached); p value estimated using log-rank test.**Based on chi-squared or Fisher exact tests for categorical variables, and on Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables. Cases with missing data were excluded from statistical analyses.Histologic parameters analyzed were based on the World Health Organization's classification and histologic criteria[33]. Clark level of invasion and tumor thickness were measured as for cutaneous melanomas[32].
