^aThe comparison of age, gravidity, parity, and body mass index between two groups was tested by ANOVA, whereas the comparison of histologic type, stage, and differentiation was tested by the Chi-square test. ^bOne patient was diagnosed with small cell cancer. Therefore, the statistical analyses were performed with data from 109 patients.
