Note: The dependent variable was a pathological stage (1 stage I group, 2 II III stage group, 3 stage IV group). The control variables included the course of the disease, age, sex (1 female, 2 male), smoking history (0 yes, 1 none), pathological classification (1 adenocarcinoma, 2 squamous cell carcinoma), and surgery (0 no operation, 1 surgery). Independent variables included TB-L, TB-a, TB-b, TC-L, TC-a, TC-b, TBASM, and perAll. There was no collinearity problem in any variables (VIF 10). Therefore, only the tongue image indexes that can be entered into the regression equation are included in the table ( 0.05).
