a

Log rank test.

b

Wald chi-square test from multivariable Cox regression adjusted for the IMDC risk factors, including time from diagnosis to treatment < 1 year, Karnofsky performance status <80, hemoglobin < upper limit of normal, neutrophilia, thrombocytosis, and hypercalcemia.

c

In model 1, BM (yes versus no) and LM (yes versus no) were evaluated as two individual factors.

d

In model 2, patients were classified into four groups based on the combination of BM and LM (presence of both BM and LM, presence of either BM or LM, or other metastases).

e

Other is defined as sites of metastasis excluding bone and liver.
