Risk ratio represents the association of the presence of positive tumor cell or diffuse tumor vasculature B7-H3 expression with death from RCC (using negative tumor cell and absent, focal, or moderate tumor vasculature B7-H3 expression as the reference group) after adjustment for the feature or combination of features listed.
